    And here is where they stoled The General, at The Lacy Restrant at Big Shanty (now Marriettia). Right across the tracks where Wild Man dent's "Store" is now, was a Confederate Army Camp.

      William Pittenger lived in Fallbrook CA, a half an hour away from where I do. I've gone by to see his Grave, Church he Pastored, and the House he lived in.
