Fort Saunders, 4 miles (6.4 km) southeast of Clinton, Kansas, and 12 miles (19 km) southwest of Lawrence, Kansas, was owned by James D. Saunders, a militia captain. What little was left of Clinton disappeared during construction of the Clinton Lake in the 1960s; only an outbuilding that was converted into a museum remains. The next day Fort Titus, south of Lecompton (the territorial capital of Kansas Territory), was attacked and taken by the northerners. Fort Titus was another southern stronghold. A number of the prisoners taken from Fort Titus were Georgians who had been at Fort Saunders.
