The information for stories in this publication was obtained from Army and Navy official records, contemporary newspaper accounts and similarly reliable sources. Charleston, South Carolina, was a hotbed of secession at the start of the American Civil War and an important Atlantic Ocean port city for the fledgling Confederate States of America. The first shots against the Federal government were those fired there by cadets of the Citadel to stop a ship from resupplying the Federally held Fort Sumter.

Admiral Wilcox was born May 2, 1922. He was commissioned as an ensign in the Navy in October 1943 and was assigned to the destroyer USS Ellyson. Shortly thereafter, his ship sailed for the Mediterranean where it engaged the German submarine U-616 and captured its crew. He subsequently participated in the bombardment of German shore batteries in support of the Allied landing at Omaha Beach on D-Day and again in the attack on Cherbourg a few weeks later. After the war, Mr. Wilcox returned to Charleston and joined the news staff of The Charleston Evening Post. He became city editor in 1952. He was named assistant editor of the News and Courier in 1957 and editor of The Charleston Evening Post in 1968. Five years later, he became editor of the News and Courier. He retired in 1990. Mr. Wilcox loved history and was an expert on the Civil War. He and Warren Ripley produced the publication "The Civil War in Charleston" for the News and Courier. …
