 | | Even though the Arkansas had not yet arrived — its presence was crucial to prevent the U.S. Navy from raking the Confederates with their deck guns — Breckinridge attacked at dawn on August 5. |
 | | The Confederate line stretched in a semicircle from the present intersection of Plank Road and Scenic Highway in the north to the present-day Webb Park Golf Course in the south, all of which was then out in the country. |
 | | The most heavily traveled roads were I-10, I-12, Florida Boulevard, Bluebonnet Boulevard, Perkins Road, College Drive, Greenwell Springs Road, and Airline Highway. |
