General Schofield's Headquarters


This is a picture of an old mansion of an old plantation owned by the Chaney family on the outskirts of Marietta. In 1864 when Sherman's troops occupied the area it was Yankee General John F. Schofield's headquarters.

This was close to my son's house before he moved. I took this picture about a year ago.

I was in the area the other day and I and saw that now, the front yard is a subdivision of townhouses and the mansion is their clubhouse.

Tch tch.
