Approximately 3,000 Confederate Georgians under Thomas Reade Rootes Cobb were lined up in multiple ranks behind the stone wall for about 600 yards, and another 3,000 were atop the slope behind it, along with their artillery.
In an ironic twist of fate, Volkswagen manufactured a locally built version of Rootes's Hillman Avenger in Argentina in the 1980s, long after Rootes had gone bankrupt at the hands of Chrysler in 1978—the Beetle outliving the Avenger by over 30 years.
The group then took over the European division of Chrysler (which were formerly Rootes and Simca ), in 1978 as the American auto manufacturer struggled to survive.
