Re: Etter's Battery at Jenkins Ferry?

No othe artillery was involved at Jenkins Ferry other than the two mentioned. The terrain would not allow it and with the heavy rains they could not get in to the bottoms. I have a confederate cannonball that I dug from that battlefield area, after the yankees captured the battery and then burned everything on the high ground. It had the wooden fuse casing which was very rare that late in the war.
