Richmond Defences
Outer-Line Crossing Mill Road
To the North was the Confederate Fort Gilmer, attacked but not captured, Sept. 29,1864. Southward, earthworks centering around Fort Harrison extended to James River. These protected Chaffin's Bluff which, with Drewry's Bluff opposite it, guarded the approaches to Richmond by water.
Marker is at the intersection of Mill Road and Battlefield Park Road, on the right when traveling east on Mill Road.
