1861] RELIEF OF SUMTER 159 It came in the shape of the question of holding or giv ing up Fort Sumter. That last of the Federal strongholds in Charleston harbor not in possession of the rebels had been left unreenforced and unreprovisioned, after a weak effort to succor the garrison by the Star of the West ex pedition as the most embarrassing legacy of the Buchanan to the new Administration. On the very morning after his inauguration, the President found on his desk at the White House a communic...ation from the War Department, ac companied by official reports, according to which Fort Sumter could hold out, even if not attacked, only a few weeks longer, and Fort Pickens in Pensacola Bay was also in great danger, unless strengthened by men and supplies. From that hour the fate of the two forts formed his most serious anxiety. He called on General Scott and other officers of the army and navy for information and advice. He caused special messengers to be sent to Major Anderson, in command of Fort Sumter, in order to obtain his own judgment as to his ability to hold out.
