Robert E. Lee's 'Gregorie's Line' in S.C.-- Part 2: Forts and a Traveller Connection

These were specifically designed to stop the constant threat of Union invasion from nearby Beaufort which had been captured shortly after the war began.

General Lee laid out a series of half moon fortifications extending from the Cumbahee River to Pocotaligo.  Numerous local properties still have these forts and other earthworks on them.  Other earthworks were thrown up to stop Sherman's March through the Carolinas in 1865.

I have not been able to find out anything else about this "Gregorie's Line."

General Lee's famous war horse, Traveller, was shipped to him via the railroad while he was at  his headquarters at Coosawhatchie during Christmas 1861.
