The bloody two-week siege of Spanish Fort, Alabama (March 26-April 8, 1865) was one of the final battles of the Civil War. The siege and battle that unfolded on the rough and uneven bluffs of Mobile Bay’s eastern shore, fought mainly by veterans of the principal battles of the Western Theater, witnessed every offensive and defensive art known to war. It is an outstanding study of a little-known but astonishingly important event rife with acts of heroism that rivaled any battle of the war.
ADVANCE PRAISE!
“Digging All Night and Fighting All Day is an exhaustive account of the efforts to eliminate the Confederate fortifications on the Eastern Shore of Mobile Bay during the final tragic days of the Civil War. It is a comprehensive narrative, enriched by contemporary accounts and reminiscences that chronicle the plodding realities of siege warfare, endured by both defenders and assailants.” — Robert Bradley, Chief Curator, Alabama Department of Archives and History (Ret.)
