Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Excavation of a Fort Fisher Bombproof
Fort Fisher was constructed during the Civil War to guard the entrance to New Inlet and provide protection for the port of Wilmington. Under the direction of Colonel William Lamb the fortification was developed into a formidable structure that enabled blockade-running activities to continue long after other southern ports had fallen into Union hands.
