Re: Fort Pulaski and River Street - Savannah, GA
Nice pics! Savannah seems real tranquil. Nice beach pic!
From Wikipedia.org - "Charles H. Olmstead, a CSA Colonel in command of Fort Pulaski in April of 1862. After a continuous bombardment of 30 hours the walls were breached and the Fort was surrendered. It was the first effective use of rifled cannon against a masonry fortification and thus marked an epoch in military history."
