The embankments and earthworks were built by the Confederates to stop an expected Union advance on Wilmington, N.C., after the capture of Fort Fisher. For over thirty days, these defenses and the ones across the Cape Fear River did keep the Northern troops at bay.
The walk will be over most of the length of the defenses and Chris Fonvielle will offer his extensive insights on it.
The tour will leave from the Federal Point Historical Center's parking lot, next to the Carolina Beach Town Hall.
