Description: The Bonfire reveals an Atlanta of unexpected paradoxes: a ì new mercantile city dependent on the primitive institution of ì slavery; governed by a pro-Union mayor, James Calhoun, whose ì cousin was a famous defender of the South. When he surrendered ì the city to General Sherman after forty-four terrible days, ì Calhoun was accompanied by Bob Yancey, a black slave likely the ì son of Union advocate Daniel Webster. Atlanta was both the last ì of the medieval city sieges and the first modern urban ì devastation. From its ashes, a new South would arise.
