Reproduction of the original: Orphan's Home Mittens, and George's Account of the Battle of Roanoke Island. by Aunt Fanny
In the winter of 1861, Union armies had failed to win any significant victories over their Confederate counterparts. The Northern populace, overwhelmed by the bloodshed, questioned whether the costs of the war were too high. President Lincoln despondently wondered if he was going to lose the Union. As a result, tension was incredibly high when Union hero Ambrose Burnside embarked for coastal North Carolina. With the eyes of the nation and world on little Roanoke Island in the Outer Banks, Burnside began his amphibious assault on the beaches and earned a victory that shifted control of Southern waters. Join author and historian Michael Zatarga as he traces the story of the crucial fight on Roanoke Island.
Traces the development of Roanoke Island freedmen's colony, from its 1863 settlement as a thriving community for slaves seeking freedom, to its 1867 demise due to conflicts over land ownership.
