About this episode: Some six years ago, we chronicled the Confederacy’s Gibraltar that allowed Wilmington, NC to be the last major Confederate port open to the outside world. 72 episodes later and in the 160th year of its capture, we, again, turn our attention to the massive earthen fort and those that took part in the campaign to either storm or defend the Confederate Goliath. This is the expanded story of the fort whose fall in January of 1865 hastened, in many respects, Lee’s retreat from Petersburg, Virginia and, subsequently, the surrender of his army at Appomattox. This is Fort Fisher Revisited. ----more---- Some Characters Mentioned In This Episode: Rose O'Neal Greenhow William Lamb William Henry Chase Whiting Braxton Bragg Gideon Welles David Dixon Porter For Further Reading: The Wilmington Campaign: Last Rays Of Departing Hope by Chris E.

About this episode: Its mission and those who willingly took part in it dared to defy the highest law in the land. And in their desire to do what was right, they wrote, spoke and acted out against a hateful institution that remains to this day, a cross this country must bear. This is the story of brave crusaders who risked much and an organization that sought to right a moral evil. This is the story of the Underground Railroad. ----more---- Some Characters Mentioned In This Episode: Elijah Lovejoy Charles Nalle Harriet Tubman William Lloyd Garrison Frederick Douglass Henry Box Brown Subscribe to the Threads from the National Tapestry YouTube Channel here Thank you to our sponsor, The Badge Maker - proudly carrying affordable Civil War Corps Badges and other hand-made historical reproductions for reenactors, living history interpreters, and lovers of history.
