Headquarters General U. S. Grant
Night of April 6, 1862.
General in his Memoirs says:
"During the night rain fell in torrents and our troops
were exposed without shelter. I made my headquarters under a tree a few hundred yards from the river bank."
The large oak tree referred to, standing where this
marker now stands, was destroyed by cyclone October 14, 1909.
Marker is on National Cemetery Road, on the left when traveling east.
