This staging and training area was established in the summer of
1861 by Benjamin J. Hill, who organized and commanded here
the 35th TN Infantry, CSA, until his promotion to Brigadier
General. Discontinued for a time, the camp was reactivated in
1862 by Col. Marcus J. Wright, who was promoted to Brig. Gen.
while here. The camp was then used mainly as a center for
Confederate conscripts, but the 9th Texas and 20th Alabama
Infantry Regiments were here briefly.
