(June 2013)
Enlarge The Lotz House
Relatively new as a battlefield attraction is the home of the Albert Lotz
family, who abandoned it during the battle to find shelter in the
across-the-pike brick Carter House. The red flag hanging above the doorway
indicates its use as a Confederate field hospital following Schofield's
retreat the night following the battle. Ghastly bloodstains, including a
remarkable "butt print" against one wall, attest to the suffering that
occurred here
