In Response To: General Joseph E. Johnston ()

Thanks for sharing. If you (or anyone) has not seen this monument or even if you have, if you are in the Dalton area it is worth the time to ride by! I took some pictures of it earlier this year, but I do not know how to post them on here. The article is right, he is standing there watching every thing that passes. Gen. Johnston has always been my favorite General. It is a shame that this is the only monument to his great service to the southern cause. Also if you should be in the area be sure to go up a couple of blocks to the cemetery. ( I think the name is Westview) there is a state historical marker there telling of Gen. Johnston reviewing the troops there before the Atlanta Campaign began. Also there is a confederate section in the cemetery that is worth the time to walk thru.
