THE ARCHIBALD HOWELL HOME
Here, in the spring of 1865, Gen. Henry M. Judah had his headquarters
and saw evidence which helped him make a decision of much importance
to local people. Since no crops had been grown here on the
battlefields in 1864 and, as the surrender had paralyzed economy and
government, local people lacked foods, funds and employment. Judah,
seeing that aid was needed to prevent suffering, proposed to issue
corn and bacon to the needy until a crop could be made. The issue,
approved, was made and these rations did much to put
Georgians and their economy on a sound basis.

NOTE:
This is still a private home, I was approached by the owner and told
him I was just taking pictures. He was OK with that BUT
do NOT pull in the drive beside the marker. It is pea gravel
to keep the old look, you will rut it.
