[Non-Sequitur]

Were the houses of the iron workers destroyed or just looted? Quoting from your earlier post, "Early's men also looted the homes of the workers employed at the smelter."

Splitting hairs, aren't we. Next you'll say that the houses were looted and the property taken for the use of the army.

Just correcting your sloppy posting that referred to the "destruction of the iron smelter and the houses of the workers."
