Text: Ante-bellum plantation and residence of the Rev. Charles Wallace Howard, where he established a private school.
May 18, 1864. Hardee´s A.C. [CSA] moved from Adairsville to Kingston on this road enroute to Cass Station. May 19, the 4th and 14th A.C. [USA] followed, occupying Kingston, to which point all the rest of the army had been directed by Sherman under the false impression that Johnston´s forces had retreated there. The stirring events of locality are ably set forth by Frances Thomas Howard in her book "In and Out of the Lines." GHM 008-32 GEORGIA HISTORICAL COMMISSION 1986
Notes: This marker is at the entrance to a little known nature preserve in Bartow County. There are two Geocaches in this area. Bartow County is opening a new park at this location also. There are some of the most beautiful trees and the foundations of an old plantation here also. 008-32 |
