Talk:Battle of Plum Point Bend

Name
I recommend that the name of this article be changed to Battle of Plum Point Bend, which seems to be the consensus among historians writing about it, when they bother to name it at all.
 * Jack D. Coombe, Thunder along the Mississippi. calls it the "Battle of Plum Point." p. 124.
 * Gary D. Joiner, Mr. Lincoln's brown water navy, calls it the "Battle of Plum Point." p. 67.
 * Spencer C. Tucker, Blue and Gray navies, calls it the "Battle of Plum Point Bend."
 * John D. Milligan, Gunboats down the Mississippi, calls it the Battle of Plum Point Bend." pp.64ff.
 * Civil War naval chronology does not name the battle, but says only that it took place at Plum Point Bend. p. II-62.
 * Raimondo Luraghi, A history of the Confederate Navy, likewise writes only that it took place at Plum Point Bend. p. 169.

To defend the present name, I can find no sources other than Captain Walke's drawing that accompanies the article referring to it as the "Battle of Fort Pillow." PKKloeppel (talk) 13:43, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Battle of Fort Pillow (Naval) → Battle of Plum Point Bend — More widely-used name; see above —PKKloeppel (talk) 12:30, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
