Notes |
Verso: [label] The house shown was used as headquarters by Lafayette, during the first siege of Yorktown, in the Revolution. It was originally owned by Governor Nelson of Virginia and while Gen. McClellan's Siege was in progress, was the scene of several important conferences between the Confederate generals. Whenever the armies operated in the East or along the Mississippi - both sides frequently seized upon just such houses as the one shown and converted them into hospitals for the sick and wounded. |
