... that Fort Stonewall was considered a model of river defense? Source: "If Fort Powell may serve as a model for a water-battery, as they were at the close of the war as constructed by Southern engineers, the Choctaw Bluff batteries will give an idea of the general plan followed in the construction of batteries, when placed at a certain elevation above the level of the channel which they were intended to defend." Taken from page 42 of the linked work [1]

looks good. Either hook is fine, though something explaining the fort's purpose might be more interesting. QPQ exempt as this is the nominator's second DYK. Elli (talk | contribs) 16:31, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
