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.

Well, I did make the deadline.I guess Hossy-being the smart twin- knew if it wasn't here...that I must have posted it in - Alan's - Room.
Would be very hard to remember where it is there, but thanks to Brown Sugah...it's Post #2155, Page 112. She has cataloged the entire room using the Gooey Decimal System. Enjoy.

got to charleston midday wednesday. finally got to see my youngest about seven when he finished school for the day.
wandered around old town today, oysters were much better in savannah! meeting eric for dinner. went to fort moultrie, very neat exhibit. knew the original fort was built during the revolution, but i wasnt expecting to see more modern weaponry from ww2.

been a rough trip back through the storms, multiple accidents but none looked serious. in la for dinner, and then home.
fort sumter was something, sustained a lot of damage from several bombardments, amazing that anything is left. the cs hunley was something to see, they hope to remove it from being submerged full tme in a few years. three times she went to sea, three times she went down, with only a couple survivors from the second doomed voyage. we drove out to see the angel oak, a massive live oak that is purported to be the oldest living thing east of the mississippi. a great trip...now back to work tomorrow.
