Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book captures the history of the 1863 Siege of Charleston, South Carolina. The author recounts how Union Major General Q. A. Gillmore and Rear Admiral Dahlgren planned to use the navy, including turret iron-clad gunboats 'Monitors,' to engage Confederate Fort Sumter and fortifications commanded by General P.G.T. Beauregard. The Monitors, however, were ineffective against Fort Wagner and Battery Gregg's heavy artillery, due to the strength of Fort Sumter's barbette guns. Gillmore instead planned for the reduction and demolition of Fort Sumter to open the way for the monitors and ironclads to enter the harbor. Despite two failed assaults on Fort Wagner, the fort was finally taken on September 7, 1863, leading to the success of the siege and the eventual capture of Charleston in 1865. Through detailed accounts of the challenges faced and innovations employed, this book provides valuable insight into military strategy and engineering during the American Civil War. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
