“Stephen R Wise vividly re-creates the 1863 campaign in Gate of Hell, his retelling of the battle for Morris Island and the bombardment of Fort Sumter pits not only black against white and North against South but also Army against Navy. Wise contends that the significance of the campaign extends beyond its outcome, arguing that an understanding of the strategy used at Charleston is vital to understanding the very nature of the Civil War.”
Sponsored by the Friends of Charleston National Parks and the History Department of the Citadel.
