About this sound
Crawl into the Federal entrenchments below Kennesaw Mountain with Private Jerome Searing, a member of Major General William T. Sherman’s blue-clad forces intent on capturing Atlanta, and hunker down in preparation for a surprise ending. Bierce weaves an intriguing tale from the battle lines where he found himself on the receiving end of a Confederate minié ball.
Why parks record sound
The NPS Natural Sounds and Night Skies Division monitors soundscapes in parks across the United States. Natural quiet is treated as a resource to protect, like clean air or dark skies: noise from aircraft, vehicles and machinery can mask animal communication and change the experience of a place.
