Confederate Earthworks
Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: February 16, 2008
Caption: Confederate Earthworks
Additional Description: What remains are shallow ditches through the woods. When constructed, these defenses were based on log post retaining walls, with diagonal supports. Displaced earth was banked up on the "enemy" side of the wall. A defender could then stand at a crouch and fire his weapon.
