Battery Marcus Miller
Named in honor of Brigadier General Marcus Miller — a veteran of the Civil War, the Modoc and Nez Perce wars, the Spanish-American War, and the Philippine-American War — the battery had a 43-man crew. When the United States entered World War I, the large-caliber gun tubes of the Coastal Defense System were removed and modified for service in Europe; those at Marcus Miller came down in 1920. The war ended before they could be shipped overseas, and both guns and carriages were eventually scrapped.
