{{FortsWPTList|Fort=Fort Loudoun (2)|State=TN|Dates=1758|Mentions=1|Notes=* There were two Fort Loudons: one near Winchester, Va.; and the other on the Little Tennessee at the junction of Tellico River, near where Loudon's Station on the railroad now is, a few miles to the west of Echota. This fort was constructed by the South Carolina forces about 1756 for the purpose of holding the Cherokees in check, and was garrisoned by 200 soldiers. In 1758, after a long siege, it was taken by the Indians; and the siege and the massacre of the garrison and of the whites who had taken refuge there form the basis of a very interesting and meritorious novel, the title being 'Old Fort Loudon.' The author closely follows the historical account given by Hewitt in his history of South Carolina, written in 1770. It is particularly commended to the readers of the Booklet [i.e., the ''North Carolina Booklet'', a historical society journal]. It is in the Raney Library."}}

In chapter 42, Kendall describes Fort St. Charles as "the only work of military importance". In Chapter 8 he says: "Work was begun on the United States branch mint in 1836, and it was opened in 1838, in the square bounded by Esplanade, Barracks, Decatur and North Peters streets which had been the site of Fort St. Charles, and which, after the removal of that tiny fortress, had for a time rejoiced in the name of Jackson Square, until that name was transferred to the Place d'Armes."}}

They are calculated for every convenience of trade, as well as to accommodate the proprietors and clerks during their short residence there.' Few traces of the fort now remain."

Forts (edit list)
Fort State Dates Mentions Notes
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 Cornwallis GA 1781 1 "At Augusta", captured by Lighthorse Harry Lee in that year, Freeman's Robert E. Lee, I.1, p3.
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 Crowder MO 1781 U.S. Army post in southwest Missouri, established in World War II. Named after (Cullum 2909). See Wickedpedia entry.
Fort Edwards (2) IL 1816‑1829 13 According to [1], established in June 1816. and the Mississippi, in or near Warsaw, IL.
Fort Federal Hill MD 1861-1864 2 (Cullum 1073) • (Cullum 1451) who was the constructing engineer. See Wickedpedia article.
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"
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 [2], [3], etc.
Fort Gelaspy IA 1805 1 On my site: [4]. Probably a Frenchified spelling of Gillespie or Gillaspie. There is some doubt as to whether Pike actually saw this fort, see [5]
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):
  • "Camp Henry, Fort 24 October 1793."
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.
Houston's Station TN 1788 1 From Samuel Cole Williams's History of the Lost State of Franklin:
  • "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."
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 Kearny (6) NM or AZ 1859 1 (Cullum 917)
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"
Liberty Ordnance Depot MO 2 in (Cullum 44) and (Cullum 896)
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:
  • "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."
Fort Macpherson NT 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.
Nashville Ordnance Depot TN 1865 1 Hudson's Bay Company post established in 1849. See its own website.
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.
Fort Richmond (2) ME 1724 2 An early‑18c British fort somewhere near Norridgewock, mentioned twice on my site in connection with the British expulsion of a French mission there in 1724.
Fort Rouge MB 1738-1749 1 See Wickedpedia.

Grand Portage Stockade MN 1700s 1 Wade, Mackenzie of Canada, p12: "near the head of the lake, on a pleasant bay, they arrived at their destination, Grande (sic) Portage, where stood the establishment or fort of the company. 'The bottom of the bay,' writes Mackenzie, 'which forms an amphitheatre, is cleared of wood and inclosed, and on the left corner of it, beneath an hill three or four hundred feet in height, and crowned by others of a still greater altitude, is the fort, picketed in with cedar palisadoes, and inclosing houses built with wood and covered with shingles. They are calculated for every convenience of trade, as well as to accommodate the proprietors and clerks during their short residence there.' Few traces of the fort now remain." (Wade regularly spells Grande Portage as if portage were feminine, which it is not.)
