Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Capture of Fort Fisher: And What It Accomplished While we would forget the animosities and the bitterness aroused by the Civil War, we should never forget those brave men whose valor and sacrifices brought us safely out of that fierce conflict. And it seems eminently fit that a great achievement, by a distinguished soldier, whose home was in New Haven, should receive full recognition in the records of the New Haven Colony Historical Society. It was forty-six years on the 15th of last January since Fort Fisher was captured. Some of us remember the exultant thrill we felt when the telegraph flashed the message to his fellow townsmen, "General Terry has taken Fort Fisher," but to the majority of the people in this community that event is now only history. And it is not only our duty but a pleasure from time to time to recall the great deeds of such men, and of those who served under them, that the coming generations may learn to remember and honor them so long as the country which they preserved shall endure. It is not the object of this paper to give an account of the long and arduous service of General Terry throughout the Civil War and during the reconstruction of the revolted states as military governor of Virginia and also of Georgia, where he was sent to deal with a difficult and critical situation, nor of his later career, during which by his ability and scholarly attainments he rose to the highest place in the esteem of his brother officers. Nor would the prescribed limits of this paper permit it. It is only intended to describe clearly and concisely a great military operation, remarkable for the perfection of its plans in every detail and the celerity and completeness of its success and also to point out some of the important results that were secured by it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Capture of Fort Fisher, North Carolina, January 15, 1865 These Official reports Show, as Terry says, that I com mended all the troops engaged from the first act, 'when my aide, Capt. A. G. Lawrence, led the first brigade into the fort, to the last act, when the garrison surrendered to my aide, Capt. H. C. Lockwood. The sailors and marines who assaulted in column the northeast angle of the fort along the sea beach were a body of 2000 men, made up of detachments from different ships. Naturally enough, Captain Breese found it, as has been stated, an unwieldy mass. The 1600 sailors were armed only with pistols and cutlasses. They were quickly repulsed. Few reached the parapet. Once checked, they turned and fled, losing 300 in killed and wounded. Admiral Porter testified: I suppose the whole thing was over in fifteen minutes, as 'far as the sailors were concerned, for they Were cut down like sheep.

Download or read book Confederate Goliath written by Rod Gragg and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2006-04-15 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: P>The only comprehensive account of the Battle of Fort Fisher and the basis for the television documentary Confederate Goliath, Rod Gragg's award-winning book chronicles in detail one of the most dramatic events of the American Civil War. Known as "the Gibraltar of the South," Fort Fisher was the largest, most formidable coastal fortification in the Confederacy, by late 1864 protecting its lone remaining seaport -- Wilmington, North Carolina. Gragg's powerful, fast-paced narrative recounts the military actions, politicking, and personality clashes involved in this unprecedented land and sea battle. It vividly describes the greatest naval bombardment of the war and shows how the fort's capture in January 1865 hastened the South's surrender three months later. In his foreword, historian Edward G. Longacre surveys Gragg's work in the context of Civil War history and literature, citing Confederate Goliath as "the finest book-length account of a significant but largely forgotten episode in our nation's most critical conflict."
