Defences of Charleston S.C. Fortifications on Sullivan’s Island

Defences of Charleston S.C. Fortifications on Sullivan’s Island

The other side of the channel, and the other half of the crossfire: Moultrie and the works along Sullivan’s Island, surveyed after the evacuation. Osborn & Durbec photographed Fort Moultrie in 1861; this is the same ground four years and a great deal of engineering later.
