pant in the battle on the side of
the Federals, 1T may seem that
the opinion held by many that
Bragg's army, then encamped at
Sugar Loaf, should have been
used to protect the fort from the
attack of the federal troops, who
landed at or near what we now
know as Kure Beach.
However, it may be noted that
General Whiting, first in com
mand of Fort Fisher and who was
later to lose his lie there, appeal
ed to General Bragg to place
troops where the Federals would
possibly attempt a landing.
Whiting showed his knowledge
of the situation while Bragg did
not. Bragg denied the appeal say
in he saw no necessity in carry
ing out these suggestions.
The fall of Fort Fisher came 80
days before the surrender of Gen
eraI Lee at Appomattox Va, and
marked the beginning of much
bitterness and disappointment.

Fred Willetts suggested that the

the service?

new industry?

The tobacco executive, who was

He gave two reasons for stop.

In company with friends he Wis

struck my attention most of all
