Robert Anderson, born in Jefferson County, Kentucky, in 1805, was the commander of Fort Sumter in Charleston harbor at the outbreak of the Civil War. The Union commander held out against Confederate forces for four months, without supplies from the North. When the Confederate troops discovered that a shipment of supplies was on the way, they demanded that Anderson surrendor. He refuse and the bombardment of Fort Sumter commenced. After 34 hours of almost continious shelling, when food supplies had reached thevanishing point, Anderson surrendered to P.G.T. Beauregard. Anderson immediately became a hero to the North. He was commissioned a brigader general following the fall of Fort Sumter, and returned to Kentucky to recruit men for the United States Army. Ill health forced his retirement in October of 1861. He died in 1871. [Kentucky Encyclopedia p. 21]
