Siege duel at Fort Sumter and Battery bombardment
Fragmented account recalls Colonel Saussure and Major Stevens as batteries on Morris Island open fire after the signal duel at Fort Johnson. Reports describe Mortar bombardment from Cummings Point, the first shell hitting the fort parapet, Doubleday firing the first shot in return, and chaos as fires spread and spectators watch on Sullivan’s Island.
