Fort Mitchel, on the Lexington Turnpike,
Covington, Ky, opposite Cincinnati
The 100th Regiment Ohio Volunteers, Col. Vroom,
occupying the rifle-pits, and awaiting an
attack from the rebels, September 11. 1862
Harper's ran a description of the above scene, here.
Fort Mitchel
The Fort, at Fort
Mitchell
I have no idea how accurate
this may or may not be. Among

the man the city was named after, General Ormsby MacKnight
Mitchel,
both spelled it "Mitchel" with one L.
General Ormsby MacKnight Mitchel
Biographical info on the General is here.
