Abstract:

Colonel William Lamb assumed command of Ft. Fisher on July 4, 1862, a post he held until the fort's downfall in January of 1865. His first-hand account of those years was given in an address and published by the Wilmington Messenger in 1893. Summarized in the article, Lamb's address has also been reprinted recently by the Blockade Runner Museum in Carolina Beach.
