Abstract

A. B. Squires established a large hotel in his new town of Squiresville, which became a destination for Union soldiers and stage line passengers until the end of the Civil War and construction of a nearby railroad closed down the town. This study includes census data, military records, newspaper articles, and photographs of the town site.
