Jekyll Island

Back on March 10th, I had an entry about the fall of Jekyll Island, Georgia, now, I see that the good folks from HMdb have featured the marker for the Confederate battery, saying that it had one 42-pdr, four 32-pdrs en barbette along with casemates, a hot shot furnace, and magazines. It was made out of palmetto logs, heavy timbers, sandbags, and railroad irons and constructed to protect Brunswick.
