Photography of a Civil War Re-enactment at Fort Dickerson for TNJN
This month marks the 144th anniversary of the battle of Fort Dickerson in Knoxville, Tennessee. Fort Dickerson's annual Living History Weekend was held Nov. 9-Nov. 11. It allowed Knoxvillians to remember their heritage through a weekend of Civil War reenactments. Fort Dickerson was designed by Capt. Orlando M. Poe, chief engineer of
the Army of the Ohio, and built by the Federal Army during the winter
of 1863 to protect Knoxville.
