In September 1862, after a skirmish with Hostile Indians near James River, it was determined to finish the stockade at once. The north wall, made of sod with a ditch in front, had already been finished, and the east wall was built of posts with boards on either side and earth packed between. The stockade was completed overnight, and this wall, 450 feet long, stood about 150 feet west of this site.
