I Finally Get to Fort Fisher for an Anniversary

I finally was able to attend a Fort Fisher anniversary, something I have wanted to do for a really long time.  Last year, I was about 50 miles away clearing out the condo at Topsail Beach, N.C., but way too busy to go to the 152nd anniversary.

Saturday, Jan. 13 was the big day and I attended the Friends of Fort Fisher annual meeting and descendants presentations followed by a drive out to the fort and presentations, the firing of the cannons and re-enactors.

Monday, January 5, I went to the fort on the actual day of the fall of it back in 1865.
