Fort Mott Revisited

Part of Finn's Point National Cemetery at Fort Mott State Park. This area is the burial site of Confederate prisoners from Fort Delaware as well as Union soldiers who died while on duty.


One of my recent favorites . . .

Otto taking a rest to view the tranquil scene. At the time, he didn't know that the water behind him, which was a moat along the lookout point, was also where raw sewage from the latrines was drained in order to deter enemy soldiers from crossing. The moat was tidal, so sewage went out with the tide.
