Looking quickly at the Forts

Since the recent reshowing of Ken Burns' series, several guys at the office have been getting into studying the War.

One of them had a 'Eureka' moment the other day when he realized that Fort Wood really was, a fort.

Have been reading Gen Alexander's account of assaulting Fort Sanders in Knoxville. Seems Sanders was a friend and classmate of his at West Point and was killed by Alexander's division during the withdrawal into Knoxville.

Alexander feels he saw Sanders at some point during the skirmish.
