Publisher Description The remarkable story of how an earthen fort defense shielded a Southern city from the ironclad monitors of the U.S. NavyBuilt out of sand and mud, Fort McAllister was designed to serve as the southern anchor of the coastal defenses of Savannah, Georgia. Hastily constructed near the beginning of the Civil War, the fort was situated on the Great Ogeechee River, twelve miles south of the Savannah River. During the war, Fort McAllister withstood devasting naval assaults and served well the aims of Confederate strategists. When the city fell to Union troops, it was General William T. Shermans overland attack and not an assault from the sea that subdued Savannah.Roger S.
