It remains that conflict has been used to do just that throughout recorded history.<br /><br />Your article is very well done, a good read.Geraldhttp://www.greatmilitarybattles.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-353479285769121899.post-24311275149040653642011-08-13T22:07:09.142-04:002011-08-13T22:07:09.142-04:00Nice post, thanks for sharing.Nice post, thanks for sharing.Debby Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10803946967534915248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-353479285769121899.post-16329184625519433352011-08-13T17:01:40.584-04:002011-08-13T17:01:40.584-04:00I've been to Fort Fisher!

Even now the grounds are rather moody and imposing.<br /><br />Too bad it's such a little known piece of the Civil War. It's a story worth telling.Keena Kincaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15985958126062809043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-353479285769121899.post-46972828820152757082011-08-13T11:11:48.313-04:002011-08-13T11:11:48.313-04:00Thanks for a great post.

Being a Louisiana 'Southern Belle' married to a Connecticut Yankee (in King Arthur's Court), I know that we probably couldn't have married a hundred years ago back in 1889, at least not as easily. And even now, there were/are culture clashes.

I'm thrilled you found the story interesting. With enough readers like you, maybe Ft. Fisher will finally get the attention it deserves.<br /><br />And Jenn, make sure to email your answer to my question (and the other questions posted on the blog this month) to the address at the bottom of my post. Your answer is absolutely right, but posting it here doesn't count. I don't want you to miss out on a chance at that yummy goodie basket!McKenna Darbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00251162030942299882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-353479285769121899.post-64350797317353420362011-08-12T12:24:48.484-04:002011-08-12T12:24:48.484-04:00You're right, I'd never heard of this batt...You're right, I'd never heard of this battle.

I had always grown up on family tales (no doubt heavily embroidered) of the Fort Sumter bombardment from Charleston. <br /><br />I can see where Fort Fisher's story can get lost over the years.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing...Angelynhttp://www.angelynschmid.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-353479285769121899.post-85280674483033338372011-08-12T07:48:12.914-04:002011-08-12T07:48:12.914-04:00Very interesting, McKenna.

I can see how it could make for the backdrop of a tension filled story.<br /><br />Oh, I admit. I looked up the answer. January 12, 1865 with a land attack on January 15th which lasted only 6 hours.<br /><br />Jenn!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
