Shared note

Yerby Adkisson served in the Union Army, Company H, 3rd Reg., TN Inf. He died May 14, 1864 when a fragment of a shell hit him in the head in the battle of Resaca, GA.

Battle of Resaca, GA summary - Gen. Joseph E. Johnston had withdrawn from Rocky Face Ridge to the hills around Resaca. On the 13th, the Union troops tested the Rebel lines to pinpoint their whereabouts. The next day full scale fighting occurred, and the Union troops were generally repulsed except on the Rebel right flank where Sherman did not fully exploit his advantage. On the 15th, the battle continued with no advantage to either side until Sherman sent a force across the Oostanula River, at Lay’s Ferry, towards Johnston’s railroad supply line. Unable to halt this Union movement, Johnston was forced to retire.
