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. ugen64 22:47, Sep 5, 2004 (UTC)

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. - Triona 5 Sept 2004

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.
