Caption: West out of LaGrange
Additional Description: Grierson's Raid, which distracted Confederate attention from movements made by General Grant against Vicksburg, started in LaGrange. This view looks west from the main intersection in town. The raiders actually left LaGrange using the wartime Holly Springs Road, which ran beside Twin Gables, the house of John R. Blake. A trace of that road is visible off 3rd Street. That site is about a half mile west of the marker, near the Gloster-Anderson Graveyard Marker.
