The sewn-in double page centerfold is captioned: "Gen. Sherman's Campaign-- The Rebel Assault On Logan's Position In The Battle At Dallas, May 28, 1864." A full page map shows Sherman's advance on Atlanta. Another page has two illustrations: "The Escaped Slave" & "The Escaped Slave In The Union Army", each measuring about 6 3/4 by 4 1/2 inches.
