Preservation and interpretive plan for the Dill Tract Civil War earthworks on James Island, South Carolina, [Steven D. Smith]

eng

"Beginning in the late fall of 1862 the Confederate Army defending Charleston began work on a line of earthworks and batteries across James Island, South Carolina, from Secessionville to the Stono River. The lines were called the 'New Lines' to distinguish them from other lines built in 1861. Today, approximately 3,000 feet of these lines still exist in very good condition on a 17.3 acre tract of land that represent a portion of the Dill Tract. The tract and earthworks (archaeological site 38CH195) are part of a noncontiguous district listed on the National Register of Historic Places and are owned by the City of Charleston. The City desires to protect and manage the earthworks in a manner that will allow for public visitation. This plan presents a preservation and interpretive plan for earthwork management. This plan is accompanied by an Interpretive Trail Map as a separate document."--Page ii
