| Visiting Fort Sumter where
the Civil War began. Looking out over the ruins of the original
fort from the top of Battery Huger, a fortification from
the Spanish American War that was built in the middle of
the fort's parade ground. Personaly I think the fort should
be competely restored to its 1860's appearence. |
