Notes
Content: Printed on border: "A very important factor in the bombardment of Fort Sumter was an immense floating battery, which did effective work in the silencing of the fort's guns. Major Anderson directed many of his shots at the floating battery; but while it was struck fifteen or eighteen times, not the slightest impression was made upon its iron-cased sides."
Source note: Frank Leslie''s illustrated famous leaders and battle scenes of the Civil War; the most important events of the conflict between the states, graphically, pictured. (New York : Mrs. Frank Leslie, 1896) Moat, Louis Shepheard , Editor. Carr, Joseph B. , Author.
