Linden Hall
"The signalmen who manned the rooftop post at Lmden Hall found refuge during quiet momentS in the cramped garret room. Penciled inscriptions on the plastered walls dated July 10, 1863, were probably written just prior to the sighting of the approaching Union cavalry. Although all written in the same hand, the inscriptions detail three South Carolina men, all from General McLaw's Division, Army of Northern Virginia: David Hugh Crawford, Alwyn Grant Wilkins, and Creswell Archimedes Calhoun Waller. One might speculate that Wilkins wrote the inscriptions, his signature contatning the most detailed information."
