Forts (edit list)
Fort State Dates Mentions Notes
Chisholm's Fort TN 1793 1 See the editor's note to Sevier's Journal, 24 Oct 1793.
Eaton's Fort TN 1776 1 Not completely sure it was a fort, but at least it was something like one, and a battle was fought there in 1776, mentioned just once on my site, and in passing. See [1], [2], etc.
Fort at Cobb's Point NC 1862 1 Civil War coastal fort near Elizabeth City: Merrill, The Rebel Shore, p96‑98; online elsewhere and in print. Was a "wretched affair", had four 32‑pounder smoothbores. It was blown up in the battle of Feb. 9, 1862.
Fort Bernard WY 1845-1866 1 Wickedpedia has an article "Fort Bernard". On my own site, DeVoto (page under construction) mentions it with some similar details, p164.
Fort Caillou LA? 1861 2 Confederate (or Confederate-occupied), one of a group of forts evacuated by the Confederacy, mentioned by Kendall in Chapter 15 and Chapter 16.
Fort Caldwell KS 1885 1 (Cullum 2535). Sparse references online, but including in printed books.
--Not Found--
Fort Columbus (2) KY or IL 1 Freeman writes: "The newspapers that Lee read on his arrival in Richmond contained the gloomy intelligence that Fort Columbus, the advanced Confederate position on the Mississippi, thirty miles south of the confluence of the Ohio, had been abandoned by (Lee's) old West Point friend, Leonidas Polk"
--Not Found--
Fort Des Prairies ??? ??? 1 Wade's Mackenzie of Canada.
Fort Gelaspy IA 1805 1 On my site: [3]. Probably a Frenchified spelling of Gillespie or Gillaspie. There is some doubt as to whether Pike actually saw this fort, see [4]
Fort Graham (2) NC 1 In (Cullum 1994) — occurring just before he was posted to another fort in North Carolina, so not likely to be a mistake for the fort in Texas. Poking around online for it, I couldn't find much — except a "GRAHAM's Fort" in North Carolina, which I don't think is it (Revolutionary War), but it's not on FW either, so I'll add it to the pot as well: see this page at NCMarkers.Com.
Fort Henry (12) TN 1793 1 Not the same as Fort Henry (5); this one is mentioned by John Sevier in his diary in 1793, as follows (in toto): "Camp Henry, Fort 24 October 1793."
Fort Horseshoe ??? ??? 1 Wade's Mackenzie of Canada.
Fort Howard (4) NM 1 Cullum, (Cullum 789). See also possibly Camp Howard (IT), below under Camps.
