Fort Macon Surrenders After Union Siege
A report from New York traces the capture of Fort Macon with Union forces under Gen Burnside gaining entry and secure harbor. The garrison of about 1,100 soldiers surrendered, were paroled, and allowed to keep private effects while officers retained their side arms. The surrender gives the Union a fortified port and 50 guns, 20,000 pounds of powder, arms, and provisions, plus 430 prisoners. Union regiments form in North Carolina with Capt. Potter named colonel. Union volunteers swear allegiance and prepare to defend homes. Cavalry potential grows as Union troops seize horses and clash with rebels.
