Did anyone guess where this place next to this entry was located?
But, here are some clues.
** It shows a dock leading up to a masonry brick fort with water and a city in the background on what appears to be an island perhaps.
** The commander of the Confederates was P.G.T. Beauregard and my favorite Confederate general, W.H.C. Whiting, was also here at the battle.
** It is in a former Confederate state (Sorry BLM).
** Action here is regarded as the start of the Civil War.
** There was a huge bombardment here in 1861, but no Union soldiers were killed until after the surrender, when a cannon blew up when they were firing a salute.
** Major Robert Anderson was in charge of the Union force.
** It was bombarded into ruins by Union ships later in the war.
You probably have the right answer by now.
