Back Then: Fort Fisher Survivors Association

Feb. 10th Wilmington Star News back then column.

In a continuing effort, the Feb. 4, 1910, newspaper reported that Reverend J. A. Smith and H. C. McQueen, both of Wilmington, had travelled to Washington, DC along with two Union veterans, all of whom belonged to the Fort Fisher Survivors Association, in order to try to get the fort made into a national park.

I have read about them trying several times to do this. But, alas, never a success. But, at least it became a state park.

Go Fort Fisher. --Old B-Runner
