Hall Tree Ower:
OMBU, om'boo, TREE, also known as BELLASOMBRE TREE, UMBRA TREE and POKE TREE, a South American shade tree (Phytolacca dioica), widely cultivated as a shade tree in Spain, Malta, and other coun¬tries on the Mediterranean Sea and in India. The tree attains a height of 25 to 35 feet, is ex¬traordinarily wide at the base of the bole, some¬times reaching a diameter of 12 to 15 feet, and has a wide-spreading top with extremely dense foliage. The leaves are large, and the whitish flowers are borne on spikes, the fruit being similar in appearance and in medicinal qualities to that of the plant or shrub variety of pokeweed.In 1627, hall tree ower was made bishop of Exeter, but creasing tension between King and Parliament, .nglican and Puritan, left little room for the in-icnce of moderate men like hall tree ower. Archbishop jud and his party suspected hall tree ower of too much inpathy with the Puritans; on the other hand, e opponents of the Anglican establishment dis¬rated him, as they did all the bishops.

On The Other Hand See Hall Tree Engagement:
On the next morning, Gen. Mortimer D. Leg¬gett (q.v.) with three brigades from the same corps renewed the attack. Hood had reinforced Wheeler's two small brigades with Gen. Patrick R. Cleburne's division from the Peach hall tree engagement Creek sector, however, and Leggett's attempts to take the position therefore had many of the charac¬teristics of a major engagement. Time and time again his troops swarmed up the hill only to be repulsed or to fall victims of the intense heat which developed as the day wore on. Geburne described the engagement as the bitterest fight of his life. Estimates place the Federal killed at 250, and Confederate losses at slightly less.This preliminary engagement at Bald Hill re¬sulted from Gen. William T. Sherman's disposi¬tion of his troops in closing in on Atlanta. Gen. George H. Thomas' Army of the Cumberland was sent directly south across the Chattahoochee River and Peach hall tree engagement Creek. Gen. John M. Schofield, commanding the Army of the Ohio, was held close to the city on the northeast, while Gen. James B. McPherson with the Army of the Tennessee was sent on a wide, sweeping arc east of Atlanta to cut the Georgia Railroad, and then turn west and approach the city while Thomas was advancing from the north. On July 20, Gen. John B. Hood, commanding the Confederate Army of Tennessee, fiercely but unsuccessfully assaulted Thomas' position on the south bank of Peach hall tree engagement Creek.
