When the founding families of Anniston, Alabama, laid out the city's street grid, they named its largest road after C.T. Quintard, an Episcopal priest who served as a Confederate Army chaplain during the Civil War. But why? Quintard had no true connection to Alabama or Calhoun County -- other than, of course, his close relationship with a very important person in Anniston's past.
