In
February 1865, Confederate Generals Joseph E. Johnston and P. G. T. Beauregard
left their headquarters in Charlotte and moved via-rail towards Smithville.
They planned to confront a portion of William T. Sherman's army. The William Hastings House, built ca. 1854, is
located in Smithfield, Johnston County. This house, although not on its
original site, served as their headquarters prior to the battle of Bentonville.
I took
this photograph of the Hasting House in March 2008.
