It reads, "During the Battle of Decatur July 22nd 1864 there was hot fighting in and around the old courthouse which stood on this square. Wheeler's Cavalry made a gallant charge here and captured a battery of Federal artillery with officers and men." During the American Civil War, Decatur became a strategic site in Sherman's Atlanta Campaign. In July 1864, Major-General James McPherson occupied the town to cut off the Confederates' supply line from Augusta. On July 22, during the Battle of Atlanta, Confederate cavalry under Major-General Joseph Wheeler attacked McPherson's supply wagons and the Union troops left to defend the wagons.

'Bill' Floyd and his wife Sydney Floyd in recognition of their contributions to the City of Decatur. January 22, 2008." The detail in their faces and hands is intense. It is a beautiful piece of art.

Coincident with Hardee's night march to attack Federal forces in E. Atlanta, Wheeler's cavalry [Flag of the CSA] was sent to seize McPherson's wagon trains parked N. of the Decatur public square, guarded by Sprague's 16th A.C. brigade & three sections of field artillery. Wheeler's men, dismounted, were deployed S. of the R.R. & drove Sprague's troops, together with the Chicago Board of Trade & Michigan batteries, [Flag of the USA] to the public square where, outflanked, they withdrew with the wagon trains to the North Decatur Road. Wheeler made no pursuit because of peremptory orders to rejoin Hardee in E. Atlanta." While this was not a decisive change in the status of the overall War, the Atlanta Campaign was key for the Union forces. http://blueandgraytrail.com/event/Atlanta_Campaign [Review 13630 overall, 949 of 2020, number 321 in Georgia.]

Driving through Georgia earlier this year I received a citation for speeding. I genuinely thought I…read morewas not speeding and attempted to point out multiple reasons why this was the case to the officer who was not hearing it. While I was going slow, and at the speed I believed the road I was on was posted at (according to my GPS that had just directed me off ramp to said road) I apparently passed into a school zone unbeknownst to me and was speeding at just the level (41, 16 over during school time) GA reports back to my home state and therefore my insurance company with all the increased rates that entails. While I was willing to pay for speeding, I wanted to avoid those rate increases and some research showed me that this was possible given that if they would simply adjust that speed down to 39 (14 over) those fees (and reporting, from GA) would go away. This is something the court system, law enforcement, and lawyers at firms like Hendrick and Henry deal with all of the time. I called them and tried to describe my scenario. The person who took my call was very abrupt and obviously not interested in details. She informed me whatever they did would require I pay that day a flat $750 which I was willing to do if needed. In general question and answer phase, she basically told me the court wouldn't even look at or talk to me without representation so defending myself or corresponding with them solo would be pointless. But when I said I had a couple of other minor tickets on my record in my home state from the past 7 years (speeding, but none "super speeding" or the like) she clicked her tongue and said she'd have to check with the lawyers to see if it was worth their time to represent me. They never called me back. I did some more research and found that the service I was requesting was generally $250-400 for most firms and that most likely they hadn't gotten back to me because they are safeguarding their win ratios as closely as possible so event the slightest risk negotiation wouldn't work left me out in the cold. I corresponded directly with the district court my ticket fell in, and they worked with me over the course of weeks to make that reduction and save my insurance hikes, though I did indeed still have to pay a hefty ticket/fine. So: they quoted me a wildly out of pocket amount, sold me on the "fact" that without them I'd be toast, didn't care to hear the details, and didn't return my call. With the help of Google I did every step they would have done had they taken my $750 and got as positive a result as possible given the situation.
