Sailor's Premonition Tied to Fort Fisher Death
In Robley D. Evans's autobiography a young sailor Flannigan from Philadelphia tells him to guard a box for his sister before going ashore. Evans notes Flannigan predicted his death at Fort Fisher in January 1865, and a bullet through the heart ended his life during the assault. The box was delivered as requested.
