[Confederate] rested on DeFoor's Road - the left, being at Casey's Hill 1.5 miles west, during the Battle of Peachtree Creek. While Walthall's and Loring's division's attacked the Federal 20th A. C. at Collier Rd., French's 3 brigades were on Waithall's left, & by demonstrations in force engaged the attention of the 14th A. C. thereby preventing its unlimited participation in the battle.

The high knoll west of here (at Davis' Circle) topped by a formidable redoubt, was a part of French's entrenched line. 060-68GEORGIA HISTORICAL COMMISSION 1984
