Joseph E. Johnston statue - downtown Dalton. Erected in 1912, it is the
only monument to Johnston anywhere in the south. Johnston was vilified
by Confederate leaders for not attacking Sherman. Historians, and
Sherman himself, felt that Johnston's strategy to play for time was
optimal and might have worked had Jefferson Davis not replaced Johnston
with Hood later in the campaign

Dalton Depot. Andrews' raiders sped past this depot and one of his
pursuers stopped to telegraph Chattanooga for help. Longstreet's army
corps arrived at the Dalton Depot in 1863 for the battle of Chickamauga.
The building is now a restaurant
