1864 to 1864 — what the record says happened on this date, in the order the years gave it to us.
- 1864historyFort Morgan
The fort was besieged and surrendered in August 1864 after Farragut’s fleet ran the bay. Ground with a documented war record gives the file real substance; this entry is part of it. The fact is historically verified — the part of the file that doesn't need hedging. Sources including 'Fort Morgan (Alabama)' carry the record. It anchors the timeline the rest of the file hangs from.
