Last weekend we headed down to Kure Beach, N.C. for an anniversary
celebration with some dear friends. As part of the weekend's
activities, I was asked to provide a short presentation on the grounds of
Fort Fisher. I talked about the Civil War in eastern North Carolina and
Union efforts to capture Fort Fisher
near the war's end. We had a lively discussion in front of the
Fort under beautiful skies. It was a great opportunity to talk a little
about my current research interests (N.C. in 1864). It was also a nice excuse to
reread my copy of Chris Fonvielle's excellent study, The Wilmington Campaign: Last Rays of Departing Hope.
