March 5

• In [Cullum 1760] a Fort McCleary, NH is mentioned in connection with, or proximity to, Fort Constitution (2) in 1860‑61.

• In [Cullum 1022] a Fort McAlister, GA is mentioned as being stormed and captured by Union troops Dec. 13, 1864. Not mentioned anywhere else onsite.

• In [Cullum 614] and [Cullum 888] a Fort Croghan, Iowa is mentioned in 1842‑43; no details.

• In [Cullum 575] and [Cullum 984] a Fort Sandford, IA is mentioned, also in 1842‑43; no details. ▸ This may well be the same as Fort Sanford, for which I have fairly full information onsite at [The Opening of the Des Moines Valley to Settlement, Part 2]; it's also mentioned in [Ch. 12 of Ioway to Iowa] and in passing in [Cullum 839].

• In [Cullum 1318] I find a Fort Ripley, Kan.

• In [Cullum 1139] Fort Gaines is specifically said to be "near Ft. Ripley". ▸ ??

March 4

• Camp Jackson, I.T. [not the one that became Fort Jackson (4)] is mentioned twice in Cullum in the year 1833: [310], [650],

• Camp Jackson, Mo. probably the same one, appears several times as captured by the Union in 1861.

• I also find a Camp Jackson in Gayarre's History of Louisiana, [(V.11)], in that State during the War of 1812, in connection with Gen. Jackson himself.

• Fort Barnwell in Florida: "was engaged against the Seminole Indians in Defense of Ft. Barnwell (Volusia), Apr. 12, 1836". [11],
