Disharoon's Plantation

Disharoon's Plantation was located in Tensas Parish, Louisiana and was used as a steamboat landing on the Mississippi River by Union Army General Ulysses S. Grant during the American Civil War.

[1][2] As of 1851 an 800-acre plantation in Tensas, located along the river 13 miles above St. Joe, was still described as the "Disharoon tract.

"[3] Disharoon's Plantation occupied a high natural levee, fronted by a long stretch of steep bank that served as an excellent steamboat landing on the west bank of the Mississippi River approximately 6.5 mi (10.5 km) southwest of Grand Gulf, Mississippi and "three airline miles" south of Hard Times.

[4] According to geographer Warren Grabau, Disharoon's had some noted advantages as a staging point, compared to some Mississippi land, which was soggy swamp or impassable forest, namely that it had naturally high levee, and that it had "lots of cleared fields and lots of nice dry ground to camp on".

Disharoon's Plantation was destroyed by Mississippi River flood waters shortly after the Civil War.
