Confederate Fortifications at Sunset Parl, Wilmington, NC

According to old maps and the Thomas Legion, there were four Confederate fortifications along the east bank of the Cape Fear River that may well have been the fortifications at what is now Sunset Park.

Those four are Davis Battery, Lee Battery, Campbell Battery and Meares Battery.  All four were right by each other on a bluff overlooking the Cape Fear River about three miles below 1860s Wilmington.
