Fort Fisher Illustrated: Art of the Battle

 

Dr. Chris E. Fonvielle Jr., an authority on coastal operations during the Civil War, and Dr. Robert M. Browning Jr., the leading expert on the Union naval blockade, team up to examine every known piece of nineteenth century art on Fort Fisher, North Carolina in Fort Fisher Illustrated: Art of the Battle.  The many lithographs, paintings, watercolors, engravings, sketches, drawings, and maps that captured the importance of Fort Fisher are the principal subject of Fonvielle and Browning's book, while a running narrative of the fort's history and the battles for its possession in 1864 and 1865 supplement the great number of images.
