Text Appearing Before Image:
gun at Battery Dantzler swept the James at a point where the river flows due south around Farrars Island. ■ But-er s Campaign consisted merely of an advance by land up the James to Drewrys Bluff and inglorious retreat back again. Far fromthreatening Richmond, it enabled the Confederates to construct strong river defenses below Fort Darling on the James to hold in?heck the Federal fleet and assist in keeping the neck of Butlers bottle tightly closed. The guns at Battery Dantzler controlledthe river at Trents Reach. In a straight line from Drewrys Bluff to City Point it was but nine miles, but the James flows in a suc-:ession of curves and bends at all angles of the compass, around steep bluffs, past swamp and meadow-land, making the route byK-ater a journey of thirty miles. If the Federal gunboats could have passed their own obstructions and the Confederate torpedoes,they would still have been subjected to the fire of Battery Dantzler from their rear in attempting to reach Richmond.
Text Appearing After Image:
ABOVE DUTCH GAP—A GUN THAT MOCKED THE FEDERALS This huge Confederate cannon in one of the batteries above Dutch Gap bore on the canal that was beingdug Ijy the Federals. Away to the south stretches the flat and swampy country, a complete protectionagainst hostile military operations. The Confederate cannoneers amused themselves by dropping shotand shell upon the Federal colored regiments toiling on Butlers canal. Aside from tlie activity of thediggers, the Army of the James had nothing to do. PART IITHE SIMULTANEOUS MOVEMENTS TO ATLANTA
