The Mobile Chamber of Commerce's NOMENCLATURE COMMITTEE which named all of Dauphin Island's streets did a great job but they did make a few mistakes. One of those mistakes is GENERAL ANDERSON STREET. This west to east dead end street begins on its western end at its intersection with General Gorgas Drive. The problem is that it is named after Confederate COLONEL Charles DeWitt Anderson, commander of Fort Gaines during the Battle of Mobile Bay. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/82935638/charles-dewitt-anderson
