Fort McAllister Reenactment

The December 13th Savannah Morning News reports that a reenactment took place at Fort McAllister in Richmond Hill, Ga. This is also where my sister and family live. I was unable to determine the date, but imagine it was last weekend.

One hundred men, women, and children recreated the battle and there were about 400 onlookers.

The original battle took place December 13, 1864 and it was the last battle before General Sherman captured Savannah.

The fort was built to protect the Ogeechee River, a backdoor to Savannah and the original battle only took 15 minutes.

That Was One Fast Battle. --Block-Head
