(page 107):
�The contending forces were now
climbing Fiske Hill, about sixty feet higher than the bluff.3 The road at that time passed higher up than
at present, and near the summit fighting was more severe again. One Briton at least fell there and was buried
in the little strip of ground between the old and new road. A heap of small stones once marked the spot,
but they have disappeared.4

Houghton to the Rev. Carlton A. Staples, who so informed me. Mr. Houghton lived in that vicinity during
his boyhood and furnished a roughly sketched plan to Mr. Staples.�
