Hmm. New Bern (without the e on the end) is the swiss spelling IIRC, and may be more historically accurate. Also, it would allow for linking. - Triona 5 Sept 2004
You're absolutely correct, the city is called
New Bern and not
New Berne. I've moved it.

Thanks, I believe both spellings have historically been used. The version without the e on the end is now more common, but both versions are still readily recognized. -

Fort Macon
You have an error in the first sentnence of the Battle section. Fort Macon did not fall until April 26, 1862 after the fall of New Bern and the other coastal cities and towns of North Carolina. Suspect the original writer met to say Morehead City rather than Fort Macon in the opening sentence. Morehead City fell on March 22, 1862 and its capture along with the capture of Beaufort which fell on March 25, 1862 opened the door for the seige of Fort Macon.
In the preliminaries section, it talks about the northern part of the coast, including Cape Lookout. Cape Lookout is in the very much in the southern part of the North Carolina coast.
Cape Lookout was the southern limit of the defensive district that extended to the Virginia border. The adjective "northern" applies to the district, which was indeed north of that covering the rest of the coast.
