General John H. King's Headquarters
| General John H. King's headquarters while troops under his command occupied the site in 1864-1865. General King did not participate in the Battle of Lookout Mountain, November 23-25, 1863, as he was sick at the time, but the 2nd Brigade, First Division, 14th Army Corps, his regular command, did take part in the engagement. Later, an occupation force, consisting of the 15th, 16th, 18th and 19th regiments of the U.S. Army regulars, had headquarters here, in conjunction with hospital buildings built during 1864-1865. The hospital eventually became the site of the Lookout Mountain Educational Institutions (1866-1872). Men in uniform are standing on the steps to the elevated porch. |
