1917 * Camp Gordon * 1919. Constructed during America's rush to mobilize for World War I, Camp Gordon was one of 16 temporary training camps, the largest in the southern states and the focus of Atlanta's wartime patriotic spirit. It served as birthplace and training ground for the legendary 82D "All American" division and base hospital No. 43, the Emory University Medical Unit. Built under the supervision of Major J.N. Pease, QM Corps, and engineered by Lockwood-Greene & Co., Camp Gordon was the largest construction project in Atlanta history to that time. Ready for troop occupancy in just five months, the camp's 2,400 acres included 1,635 buildings with barracks for 46,612 men and corral space for 7,688 horses and mules. The November 11, 1918 armistice ended "The Great War" and the need for Camp Gordon. It was salvaged and abandoned by 1921. The Emory Unit served in France and was reactivated for World War II. Atlanta's own 82D Division fought with distinction in the St. Mihiel and Meuse-Argonne offensives, suffered 8,077 casualties and produced the most decorated hero of the war, Sgt. Alvin York. It was reactivated for World War II as the 82D Airborne Division. 044-91 GEORGIA HISTORIC MARKER 1988

The Burning and Destruction of Atlanta. After capturing Atlanta in September 1864 during the Civil War, Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman, before leaving Atlanta on the March to the Sea, ordered the destruction of all railroads, factories, and commercial buildings of possible use to the Confederacy. On Nov. 11, 1864, Chief Engineer Orlando M. Poe directed the demolition of stone and brick buildings using specially made battering rams. On Nov. 15, Poe's troops burned the wooden buildings in the downtown business district around the site of this marker. Though houses and churches were not targeted, some were burned nonetheless. Many houses had already been dismantled by both armies to make way for fortifications. Contrary to popular myth only 40 percent of Atlanta was left in ruins. 2011.9 Erected for the Civil War 150 commemoration by the Georgia Historical Society and the Georgia Department of Economic Development 60-9

Brown's and Clayton's Divs.. July 22, 1864: 3:30 P.M. Gen. Hood [Confed.] launched an attack from the east line of the city fortifications, on the 15th A.C. astride the Ga. R.R. (at DeGress Ave.) - a mass assault by two divs. of Cheatham's A.C.: Brown's & Clayton's. Brown's brigades were: Manigault's, Sharp's, Coltart's & Benton's; Clayton's brigades were: Stovall's, Baker's, Gibson's & Holtzclaw's. The impact of these eight small brigades dislodged four Federal brigades from their intrenched line at and each side of the R.R. - where the spear-head of the attack was aimed.

Birthplace of Coca-Cola. The first glass of Coca-Cola was sold for five cents on May 8, 1886, at Jacobs' Pharmacy, a popular Atlanta soda fountain that was located on this corner. Coca-Cola was created by Atlanta pharmacist John Pemberton in his laboratory just a short walk from this location. Atlanta businessman Asa Candler began to purchase the rights to the formula for Coca-Cola in 1888 and founded The Coca-Cola Company in 1892 as a Georgia corporation to manufacture and advertise Coca-Cola across the country. Candler sold the company in 1919 for $25 million to a group of investors that included Ernest Woodruff. His son, Robert Woodruff, led Coca-Cola for more than half of the twentieth century, expanding Coca-Cola into a global business. Today Coca-Cola is the most widely recognized consumer product in the world. 2016.5 Erected by the Georgia Historical Society and The Coca-Cola Company 60-18

The Battles for Atlanta. Between July and Sept. 1864, during the American Civil War, U.S. and Confederate armies struggled for control of Atlanta, the major manufacturing center and railroad hub of the Deep South. Four inconclusive battles occurred inside the present-day I-285 Perimeter: Peachtree Creek (July 20), Atlanta (July 22, fought in part in the area of this marker), Ezra Church (July 28); and Utoy Creek (August 6). Unwilling to attack the city's strong defenses, U.S. forces swept west and then south and at Jonesboro (Aug. 31- Sept. 1) cut the last railroad supplying Atlanta, forcing the Confederates to abandon the city. The fall of Atlanta on Sept. 2, 1864, assured the re-election of Abraham Lincoln and the final defeat of the Confederacy. 2010.5 Erected for the Civil War 150 Commemoration by the Georgia Historical Society, the Georgia Battlefields Association and the Georgia Department of Economic Development 51-8 Note: Although this marker is numbered "51" (which is the number for Effingham County), it is located in Atlanta (Fulton County); thus should be numbered "60"

Battle of Utoy Creek. Federal siege operations not only involved the encircling line of Atlanta's defenses, but threatened the two railroads S. W. of the city. Pursuant thereto, Federal forces, after the Battle of Ezra Church, were shifted S., only to be confronted by a line of Confederate works W. of and parallel to the railroads. Blocking the southward drift, Bate's division of Hardee's A.C. [Confederate] was posted on a ridge W. of the main line and S. of Sandtown Rd. August 6, 1864: Cox's division, 23d A.C.

Smith's div., Logan's A. C., occupied the immediate sector. From here the line ran S. E. to a salient angle (Laurel Avenue at Archer) where it turned N. E. to and beyond Ezra Church. The battle began with an assault by Brown's 4 brigades of S. D. Lee's A. C. [CSA] endeavoring to roll up the Federal rt. Failing to dislodge Logan, another attempt was made by Walthall's division of Stewart's A. C. which traversed the same area but with a like result. 060-151 GEORGIA HISTORICAL COMMISSION 1988

The Confederate Attack, Cont. Dense woods screened the extent of the Union line until revealed by storms of musketry which swept Brown's ranks, in front and on the right where Williams' fire enfiladed Johnston's exposed flank. On the left, Brantly pierced Lightburn's line but was beaten off with heavy loss. In the center, oblique fire from Martin's line decimated Sharp's regiments, forcing them to retire. On the right, Johnston was wounded. His brigade was unable to advance beyond the first ridge until Manigault's brigade joined it. Together, they assaulted Martin's line, only to be forced back by devastating cross fires. After desperate fighting, Brown reformed under fire for a second attack. Again beaten back, he withdrew his shattered division to the first ridge where it remained until relieved by Walthall's division shortly after 2:30 p.m. Ten minutes after Brown advanced, Gibson had formed his brigade and was with Clayton, conferring with Holtzclaw, who was deploying. Sudden firing brought Gibson galloping back to find that his brigade had been ordered forward by a staff officer. Unsupported, it struck Harrow's salient and suffered a costly repulse. Baker was ordered forward and the two brigades made repeated attacks on the salient, losing "one-half of their original numbers." Holtzclaw was moved to the left in reserve and was not engaged. Although Stewart had been sent to follow up Lee's "success", he found Lee in desperate straits. Holding Loring in reserve, he ordered Walthall to deploy with Reynolds' brigade on the right, Cantey's (O'Neal's) on the left, and Quarles' in reserve. About 2:30 p.m., they advanced over ground strewn with Brown's wounded and dead. Learning the extent of the enemy's line, Walthall ordered Quarles to form on O'Neal's left, but still he was overlapped. After Walthall had lost "over one-third" of his men in vain attempts which "double the force could not have accomplished" Stewart ordered Loring to relieve him; but before Loring could move, both he and Stewart were wounded, leaving Walthall in command. Knowing the futility of further attacks, Walthall ordered Loring's division to remain in place and withdrew his own to join it. The Army of Tennessee had suffered its third costly defeat under Hood's command. Logan had repulsed "six successive charges", losing 562 men. Blair and Dodge, who had sent ten regiments to replace men "whose guns had become so heated as to be useless", lost 45. Hood's estimated loss was 4,632, almost a third of his force.

THE PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS, CONT. The city was encircled by 12 miles of fortifications which Sherman later deemed "unassailable." Johnston was confident that he could hold Atlanta "forever", but he did not intend to become besieged. He had watched for a time when Sherman's wings might be separated beyond mutual support. Now he sensed that the right wing - Maj. Gen. Geo. H. Thomas' Army of the Cumberland (4th, 14th and 20th corps) - would cross the river north of Atlanta and move south over Peachtree Creek while the left wing - Maj. Gen. James B. McPherson's Army of the Tennessee (15th, 16th and 17th corps) - would cross upriver and approach from the east. While they were separated, he planned to smash Thomas at Peachtree Creek, then mass his army against McPherson. To delay McPherson while he defeated Thomas, he posted Hood's Corps east of Atlanta. Hardee's and Stewart's corps remained north of Atlanta to attack Thomas at Peachtree Creek. On the 17th, Johnston announced his plans; but that night he was replaced by Gen. John B. Hood, a far less able commander. As Johnston had foreseen, Thomas moved to cross Peachtree Creek while McPherson crossed upriver (at Roswell) and approached from the east. On the 20th, Hood ordered Hardee and Stewart to attack Thomas. Although their men fought valiantly, without Johnston's leadership matters became confused. When the Battle of Peachtree Creek ended, Hood had lost 4,796 officers and men, killed, wounded and missing. Thomas had lost but 1,779. On the 21st, McPherson was within artillery range of downtown Atlanta. Leaving Stewart to hold the city, Hood sent Hardee's Corps southeast of Atlanta where about noon on the 22nd, it struck McPherson's left. Later, Hood's Corps attacked McPherson's right. Both attacks attained temporary successes, but when dark ended the Battle of Atlanta Hood's reported loss 8,499, the Union loss 3,722. McPherson himself lay among the dead. Maj. Gen. O.O. Howard was assigned to succeed him. Immediately, the Army of the Tennessee was shifted from the left to the right of Sherman's lines to attempt to cut the railroads near East Point. Before noon on the 28th, Dodge's 16th and Blair's 17th corps were in positions along Chappell Road, facing Atlanta. Logan's 15th Corps, which was to bear the brunt of the fighting, was about to become engaged in the Battle of Ezra Church. GEORGIA HISTORICAL COMMISSION GEORIGA CIVIL WAR CENTENNIAL COMMISSION

THE CONFEDERATE ATTACK. On July 27th, Lieut. Gen. Stephen D. Lee assumed command of Hood's former corps. Both he and Stewart were directed to hold their respective corps "in readiness" and to report at Hood's headquarters. After explaining his plan to attack Sherman's threatening right flank, and drive it back from the railroads, Hood ordered Lee to move Brown's and Clayton's divisions from the eastern fortifications of Atlanta to White Hall (West End), south-west of the city, leaving Stevenson's division in the lines. Stewart was ordered to follow with Loring's and Walthall's divisions, leaving French's in place. Early the next morning, all four divisions were at White Hall. At 10:00 a.m. on the 28th, Lee ordered Brown and Clayton to move out the Lickskillet Road (Gordon Street and Road), which led from White Hall to Lickskillet (Adamsville), to the Poor House (on Gordon Street south of the main gate of Westview Cemetery). At the Poor House, Brown met Brig. Gen. Wm. H. Jackson whose cavalry division had contested Howard's advance. His skirmishers had been pressed back steadily, yet Jackson's information indicated "the enemy's infantry to be small". Lee also having arrived at the Poor House, he immediately ordered Brown to deploy his division on the left (southwest) side of the road, in the present cemetery grounds. Brown deployed his four brigades with Johnston's on the right, Sharp's in the center, Brantly's on the left, and Manigault's in reserve. Clayton was ordered to deploy on the right of the road, facing north. He deployed his three brigades with Gibson's on the left, Holtzclaw's on the right, and Baker's in reserve. Hood had ordered Lee to "move out on the Lickskillet road, attack the enemy's right flank, and drive him from that road and the one leading from it by Mount Ezra Church (old Chapel Road)." Accordingly, Lee ordered Brown to "attack and drive the enemy to Ezra Church and hold that position" and Clayton to attack on Brown's right. Brown's men drove Smith's skirmishers from the Lickskillet Road and up the steep slopes to the first ridge beyond it (Anderson Park and southeastward). Finding that Logan's right, which he was expected to turn, would overlap his own, Brown shifted his lines 250 yards to the left. Realigned, his men swept over the first ridge, driving off enemy skirmishers, charged across the intervening ground, and assaulted the Union barricades; but despite the shift to the left, Logan's refused right was still beyond reach.

THE UNION DISPOSITIONS. While the 15th Corps was feeling its way south through the densely wooded country behind Blair's right, increasing resistance by Confederate cavalry skirmishers (dismounted), and ocasional artillery fire, warned Howard of impending battle. He had not expected that his shift to the right would proceed undetected, and he was aware that it was vital to the security of Atlanta that the railroads which supplied its defenders should be held. Convinced that Hood would strike again, despite his costly failures at Peachtree Creek and East Atlanta, he ordered Logan to extend to the right and deploy his three divisions on what would shortly be the battle line. Although stubbornly resisted, the deployment was completed without delay. On the extreme right, Lightburn's brigade, of M.L. Smith's division, drove enemy skirmishers from the ridge northwest of the (later) sanitarium and established a strong right flank. On Lightburn's left, Martin's brigade extended the line southeast to connect with Williams' brigade, of Harrow's division, near Westlake Avenue. Williams' left connected with Oliver's right on the school grounds. Oliver's left extended to the tip of the salient. Walcutt's brigade, perpendicular to Oliver's line, occupied the southeast face of the salient. On Walcutt's (Harrow's) left, Wangelin's, Williamson's and Milo Smith's brigades, of Woods' division, extended the line northeast to connect with the right of Blair's corps, north of the railroad. Ezra Church, the little Methodist chapel from which the battle took its name, stood behind Wangelin's line. Skirmishers were thrown out and all along Logan's front officers and men worked desperately to cover their lines with logs and rails. Some of Wangelin's men took the benches from Ezra Church and filled them with knapsacks to serve as breastworks. Although the line northwest of Mozley and Racine was on low ground, both Oliver's and Walcutt's men at the salient, Williams' on the school site, and Lightburn's and Martin's on the sanitarium grounds were on commanding ridges which they quickly made strong. They were none too soon. About noon, the first Confederate attack struck the right of Logan's position. Earlier, Sherman had arrived. From the ridge occupied by Lightburn's men, enemy activities convinced him, too, that Hood intended a third attack. Satisfied with Howard's dispositions, he rode back to his headquarters to arrange to send reinforcements forward should they become needed.

The Battle of Ezra Church July 28, 1864. The Battle of Ezra Church was the third of three desperate Confederate attacks on the forces of Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman, which were closing in on Atlanta. The battle lines formed an irregular V extending southeast from the northwest corner of the Happy Haven Nursing Home grounds (Battle Hill Sanitarium), on the Union right, through those grounds and the Frank L. Stanton School grounds, and on across Mozley Drive, at Racine Street, to the intersection of Archer Street and Laurel Avenue. There it turned sharply northeast along old Chapel Road (obliterated save for a few yards north from this site), recrossed Mozley Drive, passed east of Ezra Church (which occupied this site), and crossed the ACL RR west of Chappell Road. The left of the battle line rested some 200 yards north of the railroad. Although heavy fighting occurred here along the old Chapel Road, and at the strong salient formed by the point of the V, at Archer and Laurel, the most determined Confederate attackes were directed at the right of the Union position, entrenched on Battle Hill, and all along the line extending from the nursing home grounds to the Frank L. Stanton School. THE PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS Almost three months of fighting had preceded the Battle of Ezra Church. After 70 days of slow retreat from Dalton (88 miles north of Atlanta), forcing Sherman's men to fight for every mile, Gen. Joseph E. Johnston's Confederate Army of Tennessee (Hardee's, Hood's and Stewart's corps, and Wheeler's cavalry corps) had crossed the Chattahoochee River at Bolton late on July 9th and retired toward Atlanta.

Walthall, on left, fared no better than Brown in the same area. Stewart, riding forward to this hill, learned of Walthall's failure, but before he could order Loring into action, he was struck by a spent bullet. Walthall succeeded Stewart and withdrew his division (under Quarles) and ordered no further attack by Loring's division. At 10:00 p.m. Hood (Confederate) withdrew the troops to Atlanta.
