Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether dotting the coastline, guarding the banks of the Kennebec or defending the Canadian border, Maine's many forts have sheltered its towns and people since the seventeenth century. Both Fort Kent and Fort Fairfield were built after the War of 1812 during the Aroostook War, when hostilities raged between Mainers and British Canadians over the region's rich timber stands. Portland Harbor's Fort Preble became embroiled in the Civil War when a Confederate raider tried--and failed--to steal a ship from its waters. In the twentieth century, Maine's preservationists protected many of these citadels, including Fort Knox in Penobscot Bay, the largest and most elaborate of all Maine's forts. Join local author Harry Gratwick as he uncovers stories of adventure and bravery from the forts of Maine.

Download or read book Commander and Builder of Western Forts written by Jack Stokes Ballard and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2012-01-19 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During his thirty-eight-year career as a military officer, Henry Clay Merriam received the Medal of Honor for his service in the Civil War, rose to prominence in the Western army, and exerted significant influence on the American West by establishing military posts, protecting rail lines, and maintaining an uneasy peace between settlers and Indians. Historian Jack Stokes Ballard’s new study of Merriam’s life and career sheds light on the experience of the western fort builders, whose impact on the US westward expansion, though less dramatic, was just as lasting as that of Indian fighters such as Custer and Sheridan. Further, Merriam’s lengthy period in command of black troops offers a study in leadership and important understandings about the conditions under which African Americans served on the Western frontier. During the course of his service, Merriam crisscrossed the country, from Brownsville, Texas, to the Pacific Northwest and Vancouver Barracks, serving in eastern Washington, California, and Denver. Drawing extensively on the many letters and records associated with Merriam’s long army career, Ballard presents his service in a wide range of settings, many of which have become the stuff of Western history: from conflict with Mexican revolutionaries on the Rio Grande to the miners’ riots in Coeur d’Alene. Ballard’s careful research provides a vivid picture of the military’s role in the westward expansion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Quaint and Historic Forts of North America" is a historical novel looking at the origins of various forts built in the United States. The forts are a reminder of the military acumen of the inhabitants, spanning across several centuries. Many of them are the works of the diverse Europeans who migrated to the American colonies, bringing with them their architectural influences. As the author explains, "We behold the Indian in possession though we do not know who was his predecessor in holding the land... There come the Spanish with their relentless persecutions of the natives. There come the English, French, Dutch, and Swedish. And the claims of each clash, to at length give way—despite the military acumen of the French—to the steady, home-building genius of the English."
