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.

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."

Book excerpt: Like all good war stories the battle of Fort Fisher has all the elements needed to make a great tale. The fort's hopelessly outnumbered Confederate defenders made a heroic Alamo-like stand against the invincible Union juggernaut. Like the Texans before them, they also called for help but were largely ignored by General Braxton Bragg. Undeterred, the Confederate soldiers stood to their guns and fought gallantly until they were overwhelmed by superior numbers. Both sides fought well but thanks to the lack of support from Bragg, the fort, and ultimately Wilmington was lost. One of the goals of the Federal Government was to halt blockade running which was supplying the South with munitions of war, food and medicine. Every port in the South had fallen except Wilmington, North Carolina. The reason for this was that powerful Fort Fisher guarded the approaches to Wilmington. The Federals, knowing they could not close Wilmington without capturing Fort Fisher first, launched the largest invasion force until World War II. This book describes the battles of Fort Fisher in great detail. Also included are soldiers accounts of the battle which give a vivid perspective of what the dramatic fighting was like. The author has researched over 2,400 and made a roster of the Confederate soldiers involved in the battle. These include North Carolina Troops, South Carolina Volunteers and Confederate States sailors and marines. There is also a statistics section which lists the number of men in each regiment and how many were killed wounded or captured. This is helpful in determining which unit was involved in the heaviest fighting.
