1861Fort Sumter
Monday morning, and the work parties still in town
“Being Monday morning, the working parties have not at this time been brought down from town, consequently very little appears to be doing on Morris Island.” Overnight, more guns and barbette carriages had been landed at Cummings Point — stripped, Anderson noted, from Castle Pinckney, with the city papers reporting that Beauregard had ordered twenty of them moved.
