A historical sketch recounts John Y. Beall executed at Fort Columbus on Feb 24 1865 for Confederate spy activities tied to a Lake Erie raid in September 1864. Beall organized the privateer Philo Parsons siege near Sandusky with Bennet Burley, seized a lake steamer, landed prisoners on Middle Bass Island, and nearly struck the US gunboat Michigan, before the plan failed and Beall was captured.
