This Federal work was a major factor in the defense of KNoxville against Lt. Gen. Longstreet's assault in Nov. 1863. The fort and neighboring hills were manned by the 2nd Brigade (Cameron), 3rd Div., XXIII Corps, which repulsed by fire from Sweetwater and Maryville. Video by Talid Magdy/Knoxnews.com
