Fort Sumter
The 150th Anniversary of The First Shot of the Civil War
Charleston, South Carolina
This documentary style DVD of the 150TH Anniversary of the first shot of the Civil War recorded on the morning of April 12, 2011 at Fort Johnson on James Island, South Carolina. "The ceremony started with the signal shot, which gave notice to other batteries around the harbor to begin firing on Fort Sumter. The blast was deafening and smoke filled the air. Soon other puffs of smoke could be seen from around the harbor, followed by the delayed sounds of the cannon blasts. After the first two mortar shots a re-enactor tossed a wreath in the harbor and buglers played taps, a reminder of the four years of horrors that followed that first shot."
Copies of the DVD are available for $10.00. Postage paid.
