Fort Sumter, named after South Carolina Revolutionary War patriot Thomas Sumter, was one of a series of east coast forts built by the United States after the War of 1812. Even though construction started in 1829, the fort was about ninety percent finished by the time Maj. Robert Anderson and his men moved in at Christmas 1860. The fort was constructed with four sides, 170 to 190 feet long that could hold three tiers of guns, and five-foot-thick brink walls. It was designed to house 135 guns and 650 men. Four months before confederate bombardment, the fort housed 15 mounted guns and 85 men. After defending the fort for 34 hours, Maj. Anderson and his men left for New York and the American flag that flew over the fort was replaced by the flag of the Palmetto Guard.
Lotta Mignon Crabtree was born on November 7, 1847, in New York City. Her house at 33 Edgemere Avenue looks much as it did when it was one of the more impressive structures in the millionaire's colony known as Breslin Park.

"Named after General Casmir Pulaski, the Polish hero who was mortally wounded at the Siege of Savannah 1779. Begun in 1829 and completed in 1847, the fort was constructed principally under Lt. J.F.K Mansfield. There Robert E. Lee saw his first service after his graduation from West Point.
Fort Pulaski was never garrisoned until its seizure by Georgia troops in 1861 to prevent occupation by Federal forces. On April 10, 1862, Federal batteries on Tybee Island commenced the bombardment of Fort Pulaski. After 30 hours of bombardment as a result of which the walls were breached and its guns disabled. Col H. Olmstead surrendered the Fort. The bombardment marked the first effective use of rifled cannon against a masonry fortification and constituted an epoch in military history.
Abandoned by 1885, Fort Pulaski became a national monument in 1924 and placed under the national park service in 1933."
