Description
Bailey's Dam is an archaeological study published by the state of Louisiana in 1986. It is Anthropological Study number eight in its series. The Louisiana Archaeological Survey and Antiquities Commission issued it. A cover note explains the printing cost and run of the document. Ninety five hundred copies were printed in this first printing. The Division of Archaeology published it at Baton Rouge. An illustration shows Porter's fleet passing the dam at Alexandria. That picture comes from Harper's Pictorial History of the Civil War.
It is dated May 1864 in that source's pages. Bailey's Dam was a timber crib dam built in the Red River. Union forces built it to free a stranded fleet in 1864. The study treats the site's history and remains archaeologically. State archaeologists directed the survey behind the report.
