	List - LoveToKnow 1911
		In medieval fortifications the lices were the palisades forming an outwork in front of the main walls of a castle or other fortified place, and the word was also used of the space enclosed between the palisades and the enceinte; this was used for exercising troops, andc.
		From a transference of "list," meaning edge or border, to a "strip" of paper, parchment, andc., containing a "list" of names, numbers, andc., comes the use of the word for an enumeration of a series of names of persons or things arranged in order for some specific purpose.
		There are numerous particular applications of "list," as in "civil list" (q.v.), "active or retired list" in the navy or army.

	Colonel J. G. Kellersberger, Confederate Chief Engineer of East Texas
		In September 1862, Major Kellersberg returned to Galveston with orders to perfect the south beach fortifications as he saw fit.[12] In the meantime, Colonel Debray chided the Trans-Mississippi Department for their failure to act on his recommendation to improve the Sabine Pass defenses.
		Kellersberg laid a railroad on the beach in front of the fortifications and twenty sidetracks among the casemates for Quaker cannons.
		As early as August 2, a month before the battle, he had already been handed an entire new list of fortifications to be built at Sabine Pass.[26] Immediately after the battle, the general quickly ordered that all of the old smoothbore guns in Fort Griffin be replaced with rifled cannons removed from the captured gunboats.
