Number of Negroes killed at Fort Sumter Jan. - June. 1863 -- 5
Number Wounded ------------ 23
Page 70. Total Number of Negroes employed at Fort Sumter January - June 1863 , 1,979.
The figure above may or may not be representative of all the Negroes employed in and around Charleston Harbor. It is the only total number given that has been located at this time, but there are many references to various numbers of workers in and around the various Confederate installations of the harbor during the 1863 campaign. Actual Union attempts to retake Fort Sumter did not begin until April 7, 1863 meaning those laborers who came before that may or may not have actually saw any combat
It is impossible without names to tell if these numbers are duplicates of workers from one area to another. We would say it is a good average number to use until a more concrete number is found. (SHAPE)
