Abstract:

On the southernmost tip of New Hanover County, a narrow strip of land bordered by the Cape Fear River on one side and that Atlantic on the other, holds the Confederate constructed Fort Fisher. Only the last battle took place over 125 years ago, Fort Fisher is still under attack, this time by the relentless bombarding of the sea and erosion that threatens to sink it into the ocean.
