The Breached Wall
April 10-11, 1862
" The result of this bombardment must
cause, I am convinced, a change in the
construction of fortification as radical
as that foreshadowed in naval architecture
by the conflict between the Monitor and
Merrimac. No works of stone or brick
can resist the impact of rifled artillery of
heavy caliber"

Dept. of the South
