Hi Larry,
Sometimes it's a big deal who fired the 1st shot of a battle? I guess a Plantation owner, & fire eater, Edmond Ruffin fired the 1st shell at Fort Sumter, & therefore the Civil War! Later after the Confederate surrendered he was so depressed, that he killed himself!
Anyone have anything on this??
Stay safe,
MD

Thanks Larry,
Talk about a quick response, and in the media of the day!
Good show, & in only a way you could do it!
Again, thanks Larry,
