Captain T.N. Johnston's company had a detachment under Lieutenant P.R. Cousins serving one 7-inch Brooke's rifled gun in a position about 233 yards west of this site from May 18 to June 28, 1863, when the gun was disabled by bursting. The gun was creditably handled in the engagement with the gunboat "Cincinnati" on May 27, and shots from it probably disabled and sank that gunboat.
