This 1855 gas lamppost was struck in the base by a shell during the
Battle of Atlanta on July 22, 1864. The shell ricocheted and exploded,
injuring Salomon Luckie, a freed slave and well-known barber, in the
leg. He was carried into a doctor's office to have the leg amputated and
died a few hours later |
