Book excerpt: "This comprehensive book of Florida forts will shock readers with its historical insight and depth. A must-read for anyone planning a vacation to any of Florida's iconic historical landmarks."--Matthew J. Clavin, author of Toussaint Louverture and the American Civil War "Florida's military past is multi-layered and few books can match this one in demonstrating the complexity of its dimensions."--Joe Knetsch, author of Fear and Anxiety on the Florida Frontier Because of its extensive coastline--the longest of any state--Florida has always been at the forefront of military defense--whether Spanish, British, Confederate, or American. The state's unique military history is revealed in its forts and outposts and in the museums maintained at those sites today. This richlyillustrated volume provides the history of military fortifications in Florida from the earliest European settlements to the present, while focusing on those places that offer more than a simple historical marker to visitors. There are numerous sites that have been important in the state's military history; Forts of Florida highlights the twenty-four locations that still have existing features--whether ruins, reconstructions, or preserved structures. All are open to the public, and many are among the state's most popular tourist destinations, including Castillo de San Marcos in St. Augustine, Fort Jefferson in the Dry Tortugas, and the Air Museum at the Pensacola Air Station. Accompanied by historic and contemporary photographs, maps, and engravings, each entry discusses the architecture and context of the site in relation to Florida and U.S. history. The thorough background descriptions will benefit those planning first-time trips, as well as those who have long enjoyed visiting these sites. Rodney Carlisle, professor emeritus of history at Rutgers University, is the author and editor of more than thirty books including Sovereignty at Sea: U.S. Merchant Ships and American Entry into World War I. Loretta Carlisle is a professional photographer whose images have been published in a wide range of book series.

This book was released on 2019-04-10 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the SECOND volume of Seminole Indian War Forts and villages. It is a combination of MISSED forts (a few) from earlier Central Florida research - as well as NEW locations throughout the State. This completes ALL sites found in the entire State. This book contains Indian Villages, forts, and battle sites (if noted by the surveyor) as found in the Survey Plats from the 1830s-1850s era. In addition, this book will show the original survey drawings, and includes a modern map showing the location PER the survey records. Will this be exact? Perhaps not, however, it will be crucial information to assist further research. Enough geological information is offered by both the old and modern maps ? that should assist in noting a shift to the actual location ? or provide enough primary information to assist a site survey. Starting with good primary records is so important.

Download or read book America's Fortress written by THOMAS REID and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2022-10-18 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A little-known Civil War outpost that was the most heavily armed coastal defense fort in United States history Known as the “American Gibraltar,” Fort Jefferson, located in the Dry Tortugas, Florida, was the most heavily armed coastal defense fort in United States history. Perceived as the nation’s leading maximum-security prison, the fort also held several of the accused conspirators in the Lincoln assassination. America’s Fortress is the first book-length, architectural, military, environmental, and political history of this strange and significant Florida landmark. This volume also fills a significant gap in Civil War history with regard to coastal defense strategy, support of the Confederacy blockade, the use of convicted Union soldiers as forced labor, and the treatment of civilian prisoners sentenced by military tribunals. Reid argues that Fort Jefferson’s troops faced very different threats and challenges than soldiers who served elsewhere during the war. He chronicles threats of epidemic tropical disease, hurricanes, shipwrecks, prisoner escapes, and Confederate attack. Reid also reports on white northerners’ perceptions of enslaved people, slavery, and the emerging free black soldiers of the latter years of the war. Drawing on the writings of Emily Holder, wife of Fort Jefferson’s resident surgeon, Reid is the first to offer a female perspective on life at the fort between 1859 and 1865. For history buffs and tourists, America's Fortress offers a fascinating account of this little-known outpost which has stood for over 160 years off the tip of the Florida Keys.

Book Synopsis The Archaeology of French and Indian War Frontier Forts by : Lawrence E. Babits
Download or read book The Archaeology of French and Indian War Frontier Forts written by Lawrence E. Babits and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2013-11-19 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fort Ticonderoga, the allegedly impenetrable star fort at the southern end of Lake Champlain, is famous for its role in the French and Indian War. But many other one-of-a-kind forts were instrumental in staking out the early American colonial frontier. On the 250th anniversary of this often-overlooked conflict, this volume musters an impressive range of scholars who tackle the lesser-known but nonetheless historically significant sites from barracks to bastions. Civilian, provincial, or imperial, the fortifications covered in this book range from South Carolina's Fort Prince George to Fort Frontenac in Ontario and to Fort de Chartres in Illinois. These forts were built during the first serious arms race on the continent, as Europeans and colonists struggled to control the lucrative fur trade routes of the northern boundary. The contributors to this volume reveal how the French and British adapted their fortification techniques to the special needs of the North American frontier. By exploring the unique structures that guarded the borderlands, this book reveals much about the underlying economies and dynamics of the broader conflict that defined a critical period of the American experience.
Book Synopsis Fort Clinch by : Frank A. Ofeldt III
Download or read book Fort Clinch written by Frank A. Ofeldt III and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2017 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As part of the third system of fortifications built for harbor defense, Fort Clinch was constructed from 1847 to 1867. Serving in three wars, the Civil War, Spanish-American War, and World War II, the fort never saw battle and was never fully completed. Offered for public sale in 1926, Fort Clinch was sold by its owners to the State of Florida in 1935 and became one of the first nine Florida state parks. The fort was partially restored by the Civilian Conservation Corps from 1937 to 1942. Later, the Florida Park Service performed a more comprehensive restoration from 1963 to 1971 and created one of the finest living history programs in the country, offering an interpretation of Fort Clinch as it was in 1864, when the federal army occupied the fort and Amelia Island. Today, Fort Clinch State Park offers a wide range of recreation resources to visitors.
