Butch,

Fort Holt was a small earthwork built (apparently) in late 1861, and (likely) abandoned in 1862. I could never find any info or maps of the site in the National Archives, but I did find a little pencil sketch plan there.

I hunted for the site once, but the rivers (esp. the Mississippi) have changed courses so much since then, I think the original site is now underwater, or in an area that was underwater since the war.
