"Have you ever visited the little park with the cannons at the foot of the Woods Memorial Bridge in downtown Beaufort? Locals like to call it Cannon Park. Its actual name is Stephen Elliott Park.
"Named after Beaufort’ s own Brigadier General Elliott, 1830-1866, who served in the Confederate States Army. Before the Civil War Elliott served in the South Carolina Legislature and was Captain of the Beaufort Volunteer Artillery. Elliott was wounded in several battles including the battle of the Crater and later near Bentonville. Due to his injuries and the toll the war took on his body he only survived a few months after the war ended." ~ EatSleepPlay Beaufort
