Hook Tavern As an "aside," John A. (J. A.) Hunter, "in charge" of the 80 wounded or injured CSA soldiers, who commandeered the Hook Tavern, Inn & wood, was a field Medical Director with the CSA Surgeon General's Department, serving under Breckenridge's command. Commandeering someone’s place of business & lodging might be justifiable if one had 80 wounded men in their charge, with miserable February weather and plummeting temperatures. I visited the location on 19 July, 2010, with a Realtor, who was gracious enough to allow me to wander around, room to room - from the very spacious attic to the dark, damp "basement," where the plumbing and heating apparatuses are located. I learned that the property is not only "for sale," but that developers have made their wishes known to raze the place with bull-dozers and erect a more modern facility, or a conglomerate of small business offices. This should make ANY historian quiver. http://mycivilwar.com/facts/CSA/ medical.htm. (SAVE-THE-TAVERN (talk) 18:52, 19 July 2010 (UTC))Reply
