Tales of the Big Sand Fort-- Foxes All Over the Place-- Before and After-- New Book

Some stuff about that big sand fort called Fort Fisher.

1. Here a fox, there a fox, everywhere a fox-- Wilmington's WECT 6 TV reports that Fort Fisher is overrun with foxes. They have devoured about half of the eggs of the endangered sea turtles and have a penchant for getting into trash cans and making a mess. March 21st

2. Photos of before and after artifacts recovered at Fort Fisher-- Photographer Matt Bell has a group of before and after shots of artifacts from Fort Fisher that have been cleaned and restored by the NC Office of State Archeology (that's right, no a before the first o). Several of the items are Civil War era. http://mattbellphoto.blogspot.com March 21

3. New book on Fort Fisher, well, to me anyway-- Roberto C. Delgadillo reported in his blog that he is reading "The Last Stronghold: The Campaign for Fort Fisher" by Richard B. McCaslin. OK, it is a 2003 copyright, but I was unaware of it.
