- CONFEDERATE HOSPITAL
CAMP
100 yards southeast is the location
of a Confederate Hospital Camp established in the summer of 1864.
Soldiers wounded in battles around Atlanta were brought by train
to Forsyth. The buildings at the college and other buildings
in Forsyth were soon filled and tents were pitched among the
trees on the hillside next to the Home of Dr. A.H. Sneed. A Confederate
Cemetery was established for the mortally wounded and other soldiers
were also buried in the cemetery that lies beyond.
