| Summary | "Fort Sumter National Monument, South Carolina" by Frank Barnes is a historical account written in the mid-20th century, specifically in the early 1950s. This handbook provides a detailed examination of Fort Sumter, focusing on its construction, strategic significance during the Civil War, and its legacy as a symbol of national conflict. The book explores the events leading up to the bombardment of the fort in April 1861, which marked the beginning of the Civil War, and encompasses various military operations and changes in fortifications over the course of the war. In this publication, Barnes presents a chronological narrative that starts with the construction of Fort Sumter in the early 1800s and leads up to its pivotal role in the Civil War. The text covers key moments such as Major Anderson's transfer of troops to the fort, the initial bombardment by Confederate forces, and the subsequent struggles for control over Charleston Harbor. The fort experiences several bombardments and evacuations during the war, becoming a symbol of both Confederate resistance and Union determination. After the war, the book details the fort's restoration and its eventual establishment as a national monument, commemorating its significance in American history.
