Francis P. Gaines, former

The Civil War actually started
April 12. 1861, when Confederate
troops shelled Fort Sumter in the
harbor of Charleston, S.C.
But President Eisenhower chose
the so-called "Star of the West"
incident to kick off the celebra
tion. The "Star of the West" was
a Union supply ship en route to
Fort Sumter when rebel forces in
the harbor fired on it, on Jan. 8,
1861. forcing it to turn around and
head home.
Cadets of The Citadel re-enact
the firing in Charleston today,
using five 24-pound cannons simi
lar to those used a century ago.
The USS Orleans Parish, a Navy
minecraft support ship, has been
fitted out with mast, sails and
paddlewheels for the re-enacl-menl.
Members of the First Maryland
Artillery, wearing Confederate

dent Sunday when they fired 17

docks. Earlier, a memorial serv
ice was held in the U.S. rvavai
