The Friends of Resaca Battlefield, Inc. is a diverse group of individuals from all over the nation dedicated to the historic integrity and educational use of the battlefield sites where the Battle of Resaca took place in May 1864. Resaca was the first major military encounter of the Atlanta Campaign and was the only engagement during the campaign where the combined forces of each army were present on the field of battle, involving about 150,000 men. Between 6,000 and 12,000 casualties were inflicted primarily in seven separate assaults by Northern and Southern troops.
