Pine Mountain (Cobb County, Georgia)

Pine Mountain is a natural geographical feature located in Cobb County, Georgia, near the town of Kennesaw.

Pine Mountain is the site where Confederate Lt. Gen. Leonidas Polk was killed on June 14, 1864, during the American Civil War.

On June 10, the Union XIV and XX Corps Artilleries redeployed from Mars Hill Church to a position facing south towards Pine Mountain.

From this location, Union artillery hoped to check the Confederates' strategic placement of guns near Pine Mountain's summit.

Near the summit of the mountain, a stone marker of considerable height, located here 33°59.337′N 84°38.759′W, was erected in memoriam to General Polk showing where he was standing when killed.
