| Abstract | "From the surrender of Fort Sumter to the evacuation of Charleston, Gunboats, Muskets, and Torpedoes: Coastal South Carolina, 1861-1865 details the contest for the South Carolina coastline during the American Civil War. While the southern shoreline of the state would be dominated by Union amphibious raids to cut the Savannah-Charleston railroad and the establishment of a Union army and navy facility at Port Royal, the contest for coastal South Carolina burned the brightest at Charleston."--Provided by publisher. |
