Col. William Robert Greer-- Part 2

Not only was William Robert Greer one of Fort Sumter's 1863 Defenders, but, he was captured at Fort Fisher on January 15, 1865 and held prisoner for the remainder of the war at Elmira, New York.

Of course, anything involving Fort Fisher immediately sparks my interest.

He was a private when captured at Fort Fisher, so the "Colonel' title must have been an honorary one.
