Grimball's Causeway Fight a Charleston Defense Retrospective
Major Manigault recounts the February 1 1865 clash between Union gun boats and Confederate rifle pits from Grimball's to Logare's area. The narrative details the defense, line positions, reinforcements, a costly right flank retreat, and Manigault’s mortal wounding and capture. It notes Confederate casualties and a subsequent movement to Folly Island and Hilton Head before parole and return to Charleston.
