Description

Confederate Goliath is the remarkable story of the men and women caught in one of the most dramatic events of the American Civl War -- the Battle of Fort Fisher. Protector of Wilmington, North Carolina, the South's last surviving seaport, Fort Fisher was the largest coastal fortification in the Confederacy. Defended by a small but courageous force, in late 1864 and early 1865 the fort became the target of the greatest naval bombardment of the war -- followed by a furious and bloody joint assault by thousands of Federal soldiers and sailors. - Jacket flap.
