About the Cover
Elke and Dr. Lubin were fortunate on their trip to Charleston to be in a group of about 30 people to raise the flag at Ft. Sumter. The cover photo by Dr. Lubin displays the 20 x 30-foot flag as well as an 8-inch (200-pounder) Parrott cannon designed by Robert Parker Parrott. The cannon’s range was almost 5 miles.
