The Civil War in America: Drury's Bluff, a Confederate position on the James River... 1862. Creator: Unknown;Unknown
The Civil War in America: camp of the Confederate Marines at Drury's [sic] Bluff, from a sketch by our special artist, 1862. "Drury's Bluff" is on the James River. It was here that the Confederate batteries and obstructions forced the two Federal iron-clads the Monitor and Galena to retire to their station at Harrison's Landing. Drury's Bluff is within eight miles of the Confederate capital. The line of stakes planted across the river represents the nature of the obstructions with which the Confederate engineers have covered the approach to Richmond by water'. The Battle of Drewry's Bluff, also known as the Battle of Fort Darling, or Fort Drewry, took place on May 15, 1862, in Chesterfield County, Virginia, as part of the Peninsula Campaign of the American Civil War. From "Illustrated London News", 1862
