Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I arahi a Lightburn i tana rerenga i te pakanga o Atlanta, i kite i nga mahi i nga pakanga o
Ko Resaca, ko Dallas, ko Kennesaw Mountain. I te Pakanga o Atlanta i eke a Lightburn ki te whakahau i te wehenga tuarua i muri i te matenga o te rangatira ope a James B. McPherson me nga rangatira rangatira katoa o Lightburn i eke ki te whakahau ano hoki. I te wa i whiriwhiria ai a Oliver O. Howard hei rangatira pumau mo te ope taua o Tennessee, ka hoki a Lightburn ki te whakahau i te 2nd Brigade ka whawhai i te pakanga o Ezra Church. I te whakapae o Atlanta i muri mai, i uru ia ki te whawhai ngawari ka pupuhi ia ki te mahunga. Ko te pupuhi i wero noa i tana korokoro, engari i hinga ia i runga i tana hoiho ka hinga ki nga ringa o tona tuakana, a Calvin Luther. Na te wharanga i whakamutu tana mahi ki te Ope Taua o Tennessee, a ka tukuna ia ki te kainga ki te whakaora. I muri i te whakaoranga, i whakahaua e ia he parirau i mua, ko te wehenga tuarua i te Tari o West Virginia tae noa ki tana wehenga mai i te ope taua i te 22 o Hune 1865.
