Forts Morgan and Gaines, seizure of
On the night of Jan. 3, 1861, Col. J. B. Todd, under orders of Governor Moore, embarked on a steamboat, with four companies of Confederate volunteers, for Fort Morgan, at the entrance to Mobile Harbor, about 30 miles below the city.
They reached the fort at about 3 A. M. the next-day.
The garrison made no resistance, and cheered the flag of Alabama when it was put in the place of that of the United States.
At 5 A. M. the fort was in the hands of the Confederates.
One of the captors wrote: We found here about 5,000 shot and shell; and we are ready to receive any distinguished strangers the government may see fit to send on a visit to us.
Fort Gaines, on Dauphin Island, opposite Fort Morgan, shared the fate of the latter.
That morning, Jan. 4, the United States revenue cutter Lewis Cass was surrendered to the collector of the port of Mobile (q. v.). See Bowyer, Fort.
