Firing on Fort Sumter

My sisters and I came down to Rainbow Row to watch.  We so hope the southern troops are going to capture Fort Sumter. We didn't know what to expect.  Lots of friends were there. Everyone was dressed like they were going to a garden party. We cheered every time the cannons blasted!  It was very exciting.  I don't think the ladies realized this was the beginning of a war and not a show put on for their benefit. After all, some of our boys might be killed!

Cordially,
Miss Amanda Honeydew

  7. I was excited. My friends and I were going to see, hopefully to see the south take over Fort Sumter. My mom made cookies. My brothers had gone to perform. I was so excited, it was about to start. I grabbed a cookie, sat back, and watched the show.
