The 52nd Georgia was stationed at the far left position of Barton’s brigade, Stevenson’s Division. Barton’s brigade held the bottom right end of the siege line which ended at South Fort at the Warrenton Road overlooking the Mississippi River. The 52nd’s position was approximately one mile NE from South Fort.
