An artillery duel at long distance constituted the first
battle of the war. Inside Fort Sumter, eighty-five Federals, who were aided by
forty-three civilian workmen, managed to get off numerous shots at
installations manned by more than 6,000 secessionists. During the
thirty-eight-hour exchange of fire from sixty-nine big guns, more than 3,000
shells, some of them hot shot heated in a furnace, were fired. Not a man among
defenders or attackers was killed.
