Interestingly enough, one of the Union Offices that occupied the Southern Fort Sumter sparking the Civil War
was ABNER DOUBLEDAY.

Yes. That Abner Doubleday. The man credited by many with inventing baseball.

"Yes. That Abner Doubleday. The man credited by many with inventing baseball."

Doubleday also credited himself with first suggesting a plan for resupplying Fort Sumter without starting civil war.
Former Navy Lieutenant Gustavus Fox has heard Doubleday's plan and will present it to President Lincoln...
