EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from the 19th century depicts the intense British attack on Fort Sullivan, later known as Fort Moultrie, situated on Sullivans Island at the entrance to Charleston Harbor in South Carolina. The dramatic scene captures the historic events that unfolded on June 28,1776. The image showcases a fierce battle between British forces and American defenders during the American Revolution. As warships dominate the sea surrounding the island, smoke billows from cannon fire while soldiers engage in combat on land. The fort stands defiantly against this onslaught, representing a symbol of resistance and determination. This print offers a glimpse into an important moment in history when colonial rebels fought for their independence against English rule. It portrays both sides of warfare - maritime strength displayed by British ships and revolutionary spirit embodied by American soldiers defending their homeland. The significance of this event cannot be overstated; it marked a turning point in America's fight for freedom and ultimately led to victory over British forces. This wood engraving serves as a visual reminder of the bravery and sacrifice exhibited during this pivotal battle. As we reflect upon our nation's past, let us remember those who fought valiantly for liberty and honor their legacy through continued appreciation for our hard-won independence.
