Fort Anderson, N.C.-- Part 1: the 92nd New York and Hiram Anderson

From the Thomas Legion site.

Not to be confused with the Confederate fort on the Cape Fear River.  This was a Union fort across the Neuse River from New Bern, North Carolina.

A relatively small fort named for Union Lt. Col. Hiram Anderson.  The fort was built flanked on both sides by swamps and approachable from the front only be a long narrow causeway.

It was garrisoned by the 92nd New York, commanded by Anderson.
