Deep Bottom is actually seven or eight miles away from fussell's mill. It is located on the north bank of the james river a short distance from the New Market road.

Fussell's Mill is northeast of deep bottom and on august 16th was the extreme left of Lee's line protecting richmond.

Anyone interested in this battle should read my articles on it that appeared in north and south. Contact me at streetstories@juno.com
