155 Years Ago: Fort Sumter Surrenders

APRIL 13TH, 1861:  Fort Sumter surrendered by Major Robert Anderson.  Trrops were evacuated the next day by Fox's expedition.  (How handy they were on the scene.)

**  USS Sabine, Captain Adams, blockade Pensacola harbor.

**  Lieutenant Worden was seized near Mobile, Alabama, and placed in prison, but his Pensacola mission had been accomplished.
