United States, Georgia, Cobb County, 33.94147, -84.57667Seibert, David, 1941-20201996/2014Location: Sullivan's Hill, 972 Frank Kirk RoadText of marker: "CAPTAIN PETER SIMONSON 5th Indiana Battery. Acting chief of artillery for the 1st Division (4th Army Corps), Simonson on June 16, 1864 was busy entrenching here a 4-gun battery of artillery when he was killed by a Confederate bullet. The Confederate was perhaps a sharpshooter armed with an English made rifle with scope known as a Whitworth. The Whitworth fired a six-sided bullet that could kill a target one-half mile away. However, the two armies were within a few hundred feet of each other at this point, so it is not unreasonable to believe he could have been killed by a common Confederate rifleman."image/jpegenghttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC-EDU/1.0/Historical markers--Georgia--Cobb CountyCaptain Peter Simonson historical markerStillImage
