Captain Hill dead in the fort, part 1. Cool photo of the fort and its defenders.  After the battle, taps was played from the fort.
Is that Sean Wilson and Greg Barnett?  Sean and Greg fought with the impressionist company doing the 10th Georgia that participated in the assault of the fort Drummer Leatherwood dies at his first battle
