On July 20, 1864, during the Battle of Peachtree Creek, the right of Gen. S. F. French’s division of Stewart’s A. C. [CS] rested on DeFoor's Fy. Rd., while its left was at Casey’s Hill 1.5 miles west. While Walthall’s and Loring’s divisions attacked the Federal 20th A. C. at Collier Rd., French’s three brigades were on Walthall’s left and by demonstrations in force engaged the attention of the 14th A. C. [US], thereby preventing its unlimited participation in the battle. The high knoll west of here, at Davis’ Circle, topped by a formidable redoubt, was part of French’s entrenched line.
