road trip!

[Danzig]

stopped at fort jackson, and then fort pulaski. tbe latter fort was named for casimir pulaski, a polish count who fought against the brits in the american revolution. the first place lee was assigned after graduating from west point, he elected the site and designed the layout, drainage, etc. got some great
pics of the outer walls, some still have shells embedded from the union bombardment. the supposed impregnable fort was surrendered after thirty hours of shelling. rifled cannon proved the age of brick and mortar forts obsolete. although the fall of the fort didnt lead to the fall of savannah, it did blockade a southern port. on to tybee island.
