1st ed.
  • 1 Currently reading

Confederate Goliath is the remarkable story of the men and women caught in one of the most dramatic events of the American Civl War -- the Battle of Fort Fisher. Protector of Wilmington, North Carolina, the South's last surviving seaport, Fort Fisher was the largest coastal fortification in the Confederacy. Defended by a small but courageous force, in late 1864 and early 1865 the fort became the target of the greatest naval bombardment of the war -- followed by a furious and bloody joint assault by thousands of Federal soldiers and sailors. - Jacket flap.

Book Details


Table of Contents

Black smoke and moon nights
They will never get us alive
Something must be done to close Wilmington
There's a fizzle
A storm of shot and shell
The enemy has landed
The fort will soon be ours
I will hold this place
Like sheep in a pen
The air seems darkened with death
Our men begin to waver
Wilmington is closed
Epilogue
Appendix : The opposing forces at Fort Fisher
