Hardee's Attack

Fulton County · dedicated 1956 · At the intersection of Palisades and Peachtree Roads in Atlanta.

July 20, 1864. At 3:30 P.M., 3 divisions of Hardee's A.C., (CS) Bate's, Walker's, & Maney's, moved to the attack of Newton's 4th A.C. division (US) posted on the ridge 200 yds. north of Collier Road. Bate, on rt. of the corps, was just W. of Clear Creek; Walker at center, astride Peachtree Rd., & Maney (formerly Cheatham) on Walker's left. Peachtree was a winding country road bordered by heavily wooded tracts -- largely of Collier ownership in the battlefield area. The house of Andrew J. Collier (of Collier's Mill) stood at S. W. cor. Peachtree & Collier roads. While leading his brigade, Gen. C. H. Stevens, of Walker's div. was killed near the Collier House.
