I am well aware that I am a history nerd, but how can you not be amazed by this stuff. The train depot in the pics was occupied during the Federal occupation of Holly Springs until the arrival of some Texas Confederate Calvary men. The two houses were used as the residence of Gen. Grant, one for he and his officers and the other for his family. A Southern officer and some of his men were dispatched to the home of Grants family and they were met by the southern lady homeowner and she begged them in the name of civility to not disturb her personal property. They granted her request but did burn Mrs. Grants carriage.
