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 zzz zzz 1 Wade's Alexander Mackenzie.
Fort Bedford (2) ND 1891-1892 3 (Cullum 2252) • (Cullum 2454) • (Cullum 2758).
Fort Bourbon zzz zzz 1 Wade's Alexander Mackenzie.

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 Cornwallis GA 1781 1 "At Augusta", captured by Lighthorse Harry Lee in that year, Freeman's Robert E. Lee, I.1, p3.
Fort Crowder MO 1781 U.S. Army post in southwest Missouri, established in World War II. Named after (Cullum 2909). See Wickedpedia entry.

Fort Forks zzz zzz 1 Wade's Alexander Mackenzie.
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 Good Hope (3) NT zzz 1 Wade's Alexander Mackenzie. Near the mouth of the Hare Indian River, see map
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 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 zzz zzz 1 Wade's Alexander Mackenzie.
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.
