  • The Warwick Line (also known as the Warwick–Yorktown line) was a defensive works across the Virginia Peninsula maintained along the Warwick River by Confederate General John B. Magruder against much larger Union forces under General George B. McClellan during the American Civil War in 1861–62. The main line extended 12 miles from Yorktown to the Warwick River and downstream to Lee's Mill, then westward to Skiffe's Creek, which flowed into the James River at Mulberry Island, where the line was anchored on the east by a four-gun battery at Mulberry Island Point. The south end of Mulberry Island (now part of Fort Eustis) is located at the confluence of the Warwick and James Rivers. (en)
  • La Warwick Line (anche nota come Warwick–Yorktown line) fu una linea difensiva realizzata attraverso la Virginia Peninsula a partire dal fiume dai Confederati comandati dal generale contro le forze più numerose dell'Unione comandate dal generale George B. McClellan durante la guerra di secessione, nel corso della Campagna Peninsulare, dal 1861 al 1862. La linea principale era lunga 19 chilometri da Yorktown al fiume Warwick e giù fino a Lee's Mill, quindi verso ovest al Skiffe's Creek, che si immetteva nel James River a . La parte sud di Mulberry Island (ora parte di ) si trova alla confluenza dei fiumi Warwick e James. Attraverso elaborate e astruse tattiche, "Prince John" Magruder, che era un attore dilettante, contrastò McClellan e tenne la linea per circa 30 giorni, un ritardo che servì a prendere tempo per consentire di rafforzare le difese di Richmond protetta dal generale Robert E. Lee, prolungando la durata della guerra per ulteriori tre anni. (it)
