More on Fort Fisher, NC

The National Park Service's American Battlefield Protection Program (ABPP) has placed the first Battle of Fort Fisher at Preservation Priority IV (Class C). I'm not really sure what that means, so will have to look it up somewhere. I would guess it is not a high priority, though.

It had a CWSAC Battle Summary showing that the December 1864 was a Confederate victory with a total of 320 casualties.
