From the Author
20 year research project on importance of Wilmington, NC
largest combined Union operations of the Civil War to capture the Confederacy's most important blockade running seaport and to aid Gen. W.T. Sherman's "Northern Expedition" through SC and NC
Synopsis
While prior books on the battle to capture Wilmington, North Carolina, have focused solely on the epic struggles for Fort Fisher, in many respects this was just the beginning of the campaign. In addition to complete coverage (with significant new information) of both battles for Fort Fisher, "The Wilmington Campaign" includes the first detailed examination of the attack and defence of Fort Anderson. It also features blow-by-blow accounts of the defence of the Sugar Loaf Line and of the operations of Federal warships on the Cape Fear River. This masterpiece of military history proves yet again that there is still much to be learned about the American Civil War.

Vintage black and white photos, illustrated maps including one foldout, a chart indicating the Order of Battles, extensive Notes, and a comprehensive Bibliography. Condition: Book is Fine, new condition. Dustjacket has several short tears on back panel, else Near Fine. Kept in a temperature-controlled room. Free of the old book smell and the smell of a smoker. Here is the first study to examine, in sweeping detail, the entire campaign designed to capture one of the Confederacy's most important and heavily defended seaports in North Carolina. The author's sophisticated research covers studying a vast array of previously unused battle reports, correspondence, diaries and journals. Includes complete coverage of both battles for Fort Fisher, the Confederacy's largest coastal fortification and a blow-by-blow account of Confederate General Robert Hoke's gallant defense of the Sugar Loaf line against overwhelming odds; and a tactical study of the hand-to-hand engagement at Town Creek, a critical battle that sealed Wilmington's fate, according to the publisher. One of the best, comprehensive studies of Civil War battles. An excellent historical book. Note: We are a well-established, well-respected, ethical book dealer in business since 1991.
