Excerpt from Historical Sketch of the Chatham Artillery: During the Confederate Struggle for Independence Immediately upon occupying the fort you will take measures to put it in a thorough state Of defense as far as its means and ours will permit; and for this purpose you will advise with Captain Claghorn, Chatham Artillery, who has been charged with all matters relating to ordnance and ordnance stores, and their supply. You will further arrange with Captain Claghorn a series of day and night signals for communicating with the city of Savannah, for the purpose of calling for reinforcements, or for other necessary purposes. And you will arrange with Mr. John Cunningham, military purveyor for the time being, for the employment of one or more steam-boats, or other means of transportation by land or by water that may be necessary, and for other supplies (except for ordnance stores, for which you will call upon Capt. Claghorn) as may be required. If circumstances should require it, the telegraph will be placed under surveillance. I think from our conversations you fully understand my views, and, relying upon your patriotism, energy and sound discretion in the execution of this important and delicate trust, I am, sir, very respectfully, Your obedient servant, joseph E. Brown. Governor and Commander in Chief. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
