COPTBIGHT, 1911, REVEW OF REVIEWS CO. THE WORK OF WAR WITH COASTWISE GARRISON—INSIDE SUMTER, 1864 The soldiers of the Army of Northern Virginia, with the Confederate troops who struggled over the Western mountains and swamps,were wont to allude to coast garrison duty as an easy berth, but this Confederate photograph of the interior of Fort Sumter, takenin 1864, does not indicate any degree of superfluous ease and convenience. The garrison drawn up in the background, in front of theruined barracks, could point to the devastation wrought by the bombardment, visible in the foreground and on the parapets, with justpride. In spite of the hundreds of shells that crashed into the fort from the belching guns of the Federal fleets, the Stars and Barsstill floated defiant throughout the four years of the war. The Southern heart may well glow with pride at the thought of the little fort.(I—11)
