US Civil War. Siege of Charleston, 1863. Three
US Civil War. Siege of Charleston, 1863. Three 100-pounder Parrot Rifled cannons at Battery Rosecrans fire at Fort Sumter. After the ironclads shelling proved ineffective, General Quincy Gillmore returned to the heavier land cannons, hoping to blast Sumter into surrender, as he had done to Fort Pulaski on April 10-11, 1862.
