Fort Edwards (2)	IL	1816‑1829	13	According to [1], established in June 1816. and the Mississippi, in or near Warsaw, IL.
Fort St. Antoine	WI	1689	1	French trading fort at Prairie du Chien, best known for Nicolas Perrot's act of taking possession of the upper Mississippi for the King of France.
Savanna Proving Ground	IL	1917-2000	1	Atom bomb development in its later years. Some very interesting webpages out there, among them 1 and 2. On my own site, AOG obituary of George W. Burr the man who established it), and "Rock Island and the Rock Island Arsenal" (J. Ill. S. H. S. 33:304‑340).
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 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 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 Loudoun (2)	TN	1758	1	* 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."
Fort Loudoun (1)	VA		1	See Fort Loudoun (2)
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."
Nashville Ordnance Depot	TN	1865	1	Temporary depot, according to this webpage out there, discontinued sometime after 1865. (Cullum 2008) was its commander June 30, 1865, to May 26, 1866
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 Russell (2)	IL	1812+	1	In Ill. Cath. Hist. Rev. 8:2 I find: "At the outbreak of the War of 1812 the ancient cannon of Fort Chartres, of seventeenth-century make, were removed thence and planted at Fort Russell on the northern outskirts of Edwardsville."
Fort Stephenson (2)	IA?	1800s	2	early 19c. Mentioned in at least 2 onsite books on Iowa history.
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].
Mission Santa Catalina	GA?	1670	1	NPS booklet on Castillo San Marcos: "In 1670, a vessel bound for Charleston, mistakenly put in at Santa Catalina Mission, the Spanish post near the Savannah River…"
