The Battle of Kolb's Farm taking place on June 22, 1864 saw the famed Confederate General John Bell Hood launch a frontal assault against an entrenched union force under the command of Major General John Schofield. Hood believed that he had an opportunity to outflank the Union force and defeat the Union forces in front of his corps. However, Union artillery and a strong defensive line repelled this attack with ease and inflicted heavy losses on Hood’s men. This battle occurred 5 day prior to the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain.
