Confederate Fort Fisher
Like all good war stories the battle of Fort Fisher has all the elements needed to make a great tale. The fort's hopelessly outnumbered Confederate defenders made a heroic Alamo-like stand against the invincible Union juggernaut. Like the Texans before them, they also called for help but were largely ignored by General Braxton Bragg. Undeterred, the Confederate soldiers stood to their guns and fought gallantly until they were overwhelmed by superior numbers.

Fort Fisher Illustrated
-- The first photographic study of Fort Fisher -- Fort Fisher was the largest combined Army-Navy operations effort of the civil war -- The fourth book in our acclaimed series "Battles & Campaigns of the Carolinas" This magnificent photographic history of Fort Fisher features 36 photos (20 of which are previously unpublished) of this massive seacost fortification outside Wilmington, North Carolina. The stunning array of photographs, together with numerous modern images, are cross-referenced to an outstanding series of maps that depict both battles at Fort Fisher -- the attack by the Army-Navy assault columns on January 15, 1865, and the hand-to-hand fighting inside the fort. Interpreted with a detailed narrative history of the entire campaign and based on almost 25 years of research, "Fort Fisher Illustrated" fills in a significant gap in North Carolina and Civil War history.
The Capture of Fort Fisher (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from The Capture of Fort Fisher Fort Fisher commanded the last gateway between the Confederate States and the outside world.

Lee sent me word that Fort Fisher must be held or he could not subsist his army. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
