It's the anniversary of the 1863 attack on Battery (ahem - not a Fort) Wagner, led by the famed 54th MA. Here's an award-winning article I wrote for Army History about the three NH regiments who joined the 54th in the attack. The 7th NH was hit particularly hard.

"We are sure that we are right, and we leave to you the despairing reflection of being the tool of a miserable tyrant."
RIP Brian Wilson - a pure musical genius. The BB remain one of the most important pop and rock acts in American history.
