The Site of General McPherson's Death. The sketch of the site where General McPherson was killed appeared n Harper's Weekly soon after he fell. Note the battlefield debris -- two wheels and the limber chest of a disabled cannon; the skeleton of a horse; several cannon balls and an unexploded shell.

     The sign on the tree and the legend carved on the trunk announce McPherson's death on July 22, 1864. The site is now well within the city of Atlanta,
