While many tend to think General John Bell Hood's headquarters was the residence of James E. Williams it was merely just one of the locations the general moved to during the summer of 1864 when he led the defense of the city.
Today the location is found within the confines of Oakland Cemetery and is marked with a historical marker since the home is long gone.

Smith's home is pictured below:
