October 31, 1863---The Siege of Charleston goes on . . .



OCTOBER 31, 1863:            

The seemingly endless siege of Charleston, South Carolina continues. Bombarded by Union forces on land and sea since late Spring, the “Cradle of Secession” is constantly rocked, but will not fall.  



Indomitable Charlestonians attempt to sink the U.S.S. NEW IRONSIDES by night, but are unsuccessful.
