Forts (edit list)

Fort	State	Dates	Mentions	Notes
Deshler's Fort	PA		1	A fortified house rather than a fort strictly speaking, but referred to as such in many sources, including at least one on my own site. A solid account is given in Report of the Commission to Locate the Site of the Frontier Forts of Pennsylvania, as transcribed on this USGenWeb page.
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 Athabasca	???	???	1	Wade's Mackenzie of Canada.
Fort Bedford (2)	ND	1891-1892	3	(Cullum 2252) • (Cullum 2454) • (Cullum 2758).
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.
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"
Fort Conger	NU	1781		(NU=Nunavut, Canada) Short History of the United States Navy, ch. 24, in connection of course with Arctic exploration. Wickedpedia has an article.
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 Harrison (6)	NB	1896-1898	1	(Cullum 3432)
Fort Hatteras	NC	1861-1862	1	(Cullum 902)
Fort Henry (7)	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):
Fort Holt	KY	1862	1	("organizing the defenses of the Mississippi River" in 1862) — but it's Cullum writing his own entry (Cullum 709), so it's gotta be right.
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.
Fort Howard (5)	ID	1879	1	(Cullum 2074), date 1879. North American Forts calls it a Camp: actually has 3 of them all in Idaho.
Fort Jonquière	???	???	1	Wade's Mackenzie of Canada.
Fort Kearny (6)	NM or AZ	1859	1	(Cullum 917)
Fort Lacorne	???	???	1	Wade's Mackenzie of Canada.
Fort Lexington	MO	1861+	1	a Federal fort captured by the Confederates in 1861 or maybe 1862, called an important victory. Appears on my site once so far, (Cullum 2086), year 1866, characterized as "Ft. Lexington, Missouri River"
Fort Matilda	ON	1813	1	in (Cullum 79)
Fort McIntosh (3)	PA	1778	1	Thwaites annotates a passage of Chapter 9 of Cuming's Tour to the West, referring to Beaver, PA, as follows:
Fort Norman	???	???	1	Wade's Mackenzie of Canada.
Fort Providence	???	???	1	Wade's Mackenzie of Canada.
Fort Rae	NT	???	1	Wade's Mackenzie of Canada. This Wikipedia article includes good capsule information on the fort, putting its foundation (as Fort Rae) in 1852; Wade, p91, mentions a bit of its earlier history.
Fort Rocky Mountain	???	???	1	Wade's Mackenzie of Canada.
Fort Smith (7)	AB	???	1	Wade's Mackenzie of Canada.

Fort Stephenson (2)	IA?	1800s	2	early 19c. Mentioned in at least 2 onsite books on Iowa history.

Fort Vauligny	???	1700s	1	Mentioned in passing in Wade's Mackenzie of Canada.
Fort Vermilion	???	???	1	Wade's Mackenzie of Canada.
Fort Waco	TX	1870	1	(Cullum 1845)the year is 1870
Fort Wade (2)	VA	1861-1865	2	[Vol. 4, Ch. 26], he is made to point to the nearby ramparts of Fort Wade in talking with someone after the war, somewhere near Manassas. During the war itself, Freeman has him pointing to it too:[Vol. 2, Ch. 24].
Lafleur's Fort	???	???	1	Wade's Mackenzie of Canada.

Omaha Ordnance Depot	NB	1872-1895	3	in (Cullum 2035) • (Cullum 2372) • (Cullum 2942)
Queen's Fort (3)	RI		1	Not the one you have, but a ruin near Wickford, RI. The barest remnants, but it's still a fort, and of some historical interest: I even have a photograph of bits of it onsite, such as it is: George Ellis & John Morris, King Philip's War • Chapter 9
Ralston Fort	PA		1	also called BROWN'S FORT. A solid account is given in Report of the Commission to Locate the Site of the Frontier Forts of Pennsylvania, as transcribed on this USGenWeb page. "At this time [1788] Sevier was planning to go against the Chickamaugas in their strongholds. A fort, called Houston's Station, was now erected, sixteen miles south of Knoxville and six miles from the present site of the town of Maryville; and Major Thomas Stewart was placed in command." "Camp Henry, Fort 24 October 1793." "The present town of Beaver was laid out in 1792, and eight years later made the county town for the newly-erected Beaver County. Fort McIntosh was a Revolutionary post erected (1778) by General Lachlin McIntosh, who had been chosen to succeed General Hand at Fort Pitt. It was the first military post in the Indian territory beyond the Allegheny and Ohio rivers. An important Indian treaty was held at this place in 1784; but four years later the fort was demolished, the erection of lower posts on the Ohio having rendered it superfluous."}}
