Revision as of 08:04, 7 March 2013
March 7
- Fort NELSON:
- in VA part of, or near, the defenses of Norfolk ▸ BITLY: Cullum7, 17, 168, 169, 222, 295
- in KY not far from Louisville ▸ BITLY: MAELCN5
March 6
- Fort NASSAU, at least three of them, established by the Dutch:
- One on Manhattan([HAHR 4:601])
- another on the Delaware River ([PHMB 33:4]; [Fiske, The Dutch and Quaker Colonies in America, Chapter 5, pp129 ff.] (Beaver Road Fort); action by the English, [Fiske, Chapter 6, p141]; [Fiske, Chapter 8, p207]; note for self: MACPRI 8)
- another at Albany ([Fiske, The Dutch and Quaker Colonies in America, Chapter 4, p93]; [Fiske, Chapter 10, p28])
- Fort FISHER, at least two more: in NC (important battle in 1865) and in VA near Petersburg, involved in action against Lee's last days on the way to Appomattox.
- Forts GREGG (2) — your slot's been prepared — and Forts WELCH and BALDWIN, both VA also very near Petersburg, same action as the preceding. BITLY: 4FREREL4.
- Fort CONGER. Mentioned on my site just once, in connection of course with Arctic exploration. Wickedpedia has an article. BITLY: USNavy24WPT.
March 5
- 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 Fort Ripley". ▸ ?? <== I think they are the same Fort Gaines was renamed Fort Ripley on 4 Nov 1850.
- ▸ Then why would he write "Ft. Gaines 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],
On Deck
- Fort Pillow 5 links in Cullum, 3 elsewhere, reloaded. (needs expansion)
In Progress

Completed
- Fort Henry (5), Tennessee: a Confederate fort prominent in the struggle to control the Mississippi, 1862; battle fought there. On being captured by the Union, it was renamed Fort Foote (2). (create pages)
