List of Those Missing (Presumed Dead) After Assault on Fort Wagner – Click to Enlarge Document
This document, pulled from the National Archives, lists 116 men reported missing after the 54th Massachusetts’ assault on Fort Wagner in South Carolina in July 1863 during the American Civil War (272 of the 600 men who charged the fort were killed). The regiment and its leader, Colonel Robert Gould Shaw, are best known for their participation in this particular battle which has been immortalized in artwork, poetry, and film. Shaw himself was among the many valiant men who were killed during the fight. William Harvey Carney, a soldier in the 54th, received the Medal of Honor for his actions during the assault, making him one of the first African Americans to receive this distinction and the last to receive the Medal for service in the Civil War.
