Fort Fisher Assault and Defenders Hold Off Union Strike
The narrative recounts the January 25 assault on Fort Fisher by Union forces led by Commander Breese and Captain Terry. Sailors and marines faced heavy fire as they advanced, with 1,000 sharpshooters in action and a brutal hand to hand struggle at the walls. Despite heavy losses, the Union effort faltered as fort defenses and torpedo measures influenced the outcome, while Colonel Lamb and General Whiting rallied Confederate defenders to repel the attack and hold the fort for a time.
