Two stories I have been following in the last several days are out of North Carolina.
One is the Confederate ironclad CSS Neuse being in its new inside facilities in Kinston, which will help slow the deterioration that has occurred since it was pulled from the Neuse River in the 1960s. Until this past summer, it had been displayed in an open-sided shed near the river and prone to flooding.
Plus, every year, there are activities around Fort Fisher, near Wilmington, commemorating the January 15, 1865, fall of the fort to Union forces. There will be again for the 148th anniversary.
I definitely plan to be there for the 150th.
