Preservation And Interpretive Plan For The Dill Tract Civil War Earthworks On James Island, South Carolina, Steven Smith Jan 2012

Preservation And Interpretive Plan For The Dill Tract Civil War Earthworks On James Island, South Carolina, Steven Smith

Steven D. Smith

Beginning in the late fall of 1862 the Confederate Army defending Charleston began work on a line of earthworks and batteries across James Island, South Carolina, from Secessionville to the Stono River. The lines were called the "New Lines" to distinguish them from other lines built in 1861. Today, approximately 3,000 feet of these lines still exist in very good condition on a 17.3 acre tract of land that represent a portion of the Dill Tract. The tract and earthworks (archaeological site 38CH 195) are part of a noncontiguous district listed on the National Register of Historic Places and are …


Defining The Williamson's Plantation: Huck's Defeat Battlefield, Michael Scoggins, Steven Smith, Tamara Wilson Jan 2012

Defining The Williamson's Plantation: Huck's Defeat Battlefield, Michael Scoggins, Steven Smith, Tamara Wilson

Steven D. Smith

This report presents the results of historical and archeological research to define the Revolutionary War battle of Williamson’s Plantation (Huck’s Defeat), located in York County, South Carolina. Analysis of historic documents, metal detector survey, and archeological excavations at Historic Brattonsville revealed the location of the battlefield (site 38YK564) although there appears to be very little archeological remains associated with the Williamson plantation house. Survey surrounding the site indicates that site 38YK564 is the only remaining remnant of the battlefield.

Later in 1943, it was expanded with an addition. The building was built as part of Fort Leonard Wood's initial construction and used as a Personnel Adjutant's Office for the Engineer Replacement Training Center, 7th Training Group (Colored), …

"The Best Ever Occupied...": Archaeological Investigations Of A Civil War Encampment On Folly Island, South Carolina, James B. Legg, Steven D. Smith

Steven D. Smith

In May of 1987, the South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology was informed that human remains were being unearthed by road construction in a private residential development on Folly Island, South Carolina. This information led to a two year investigation of the 1863 winter camp of the Federal Army, used during its siege of Charleston. During the investigations a black military cemetery was salvaged (site 38CH920), and three areas of the Federal camp were examined as part of a data recovery project, and a later research effort (sites 38CH964, 38CH965, 38CH966). All of the sites were recommended as eligible …
