I grew up at55 Crowell Avenue in Ft Thomas KY, and spent 80% of my waking hours in the woods that Three Mile Creek runs through during the 80's. There are terraces cut into the hills from US27 along the creek that I can only assume are eartworks/rifle pits.....all the way to Interstate 471 where the creek passes under 471 in a big tunnel/culvert. We found a cannonball or what looked like one in a neighbors garden on the hill at the beginning of the creek that begins behind Sonsrena Apts. Im convinced there was a civil war encampment there. It was never taught in any history class I sat in from K-12 grade

Dr. Ramage is awesome, i went to NKU as a history major, i loved talking Civil War with him....
I appreciate hearing about this piece of history. It sounds like Cincinnati was well defended.
I’m thinking not even a cannoneer would have been that heavy back then.
