Download or read book Frontier Forts of Iowa written by William E. Whittaker and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2009-09 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At least fifty-six frontier forts once stood in, or within view of, what is now the state of Iowa. The earliest date to the 1680s, while the latest date to the Dakota uprising of 1862. Some were vast compounds housing hundreds of soldiers; others consisted of a few sheds built by a trader along a riverbank. Regardless of their size and function—William Whittaker and his contributors include any compound that was historically called a fort, whether stockaded or not, as well as all military installations—all sought to control and manipulate Indians to the advantage of European and American traders, governments, and settlers. Frontier Forts of Iowa draws extensively upon the archaeological and historical records to document this era of transformation from the seventeenth-century fur trade until almost all Indians had been removed from the region. The earliest European-constructed forts along the Mississippi, Des Moines, and Missouri rivers fostered a complex relationship between Indians and early traders. After the Louisiana Purchase of 1804, American military forts emerged in the Upper Midwest, defending the newly claimed territories from foreign armies, foreign traders, and foreign-supported Indians. After the War of 1812, new forts were built to control Indians until they could be moved out of the way of American settlers; forts of this period, which made extensive use of roads and trails, teamed a military presence with an Indian agent who negotiated treaties and regulated trade. The final phase of fort construction in Iowa occurred in response to the Spirit Lake massacre and the Dakota uprising; the complete removal of the Dakota in 1863 marked the end of frontier forts in a state now almost completely settled by Euro-Americans. By focusing on the archaeological evidence produced by many years of excavations and by supporting their words with a wealth of maps and illustrations, the authors uncover the past and connect it with the real history of real places. In so doing they illuminate the complicated and dramatic history of the Upper Midwest in a time of enormous change. Past is linked to present in the form of a section on visiting original and reconstructed forts today. Contributors: Gayle F. Carlson Jeffrey T. Carr Lance M. Foster Kathryn E. M. Gourley Marshall B.

Download or read book Fort Monroe written by Paul S. Morando and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2008-11-10 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume will highlight more than 140 years of images that capture Fort Monroe's varied missions, historic buildings, the families who lived there, the resort hotels, and other aspects of this unique national landmark. Fort Monroe was once a powerful symbol of America's national defense system. From 1823 to 1945, its primary military mission was to protect Hampton Roads and the entrance to the Chesapeake Bay from enemy attacks. Over the years, as military technology advanced, Fort Monroe's defensive posture changed. To counter potential threats, American coastal defense installations such as Fort Monroe developed sophisticated steel disappearing guns, mortars, anti-aircraft weapons, and submarine mines. As the site of the army's Coast Artillery School, Fort Monroe trained thousands of soldiers. After World War II, Fort Monroe's role as a coastal defense installation ended, and the post took on new missions as a training headquarters facility. With more than 200 original photographs, this volume unveils the layered history of this massive stone-and-brick installation from the end of the Civil War to the present.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Old Fort Johnson The acquisition of the old baronial mansion of Sir William Johnson through the successful efforts of a few members of the Montgomery County Historical Society and the generosity of Maj. Gen. J. Watts de Peyster, to whom this volume is dedicated, suggested the idea of a short account or history of Old Fort Johnson, as this stone building on the Mohawk has been named. It has been called by various names: Castle Johnson, Mount Johnson, and, lastly, Fort Johnson, each one, in a way, a misnomer. The few pages of statistics that I had in mind has unaccountably grown to a generous-sized volume, with numerous illustrations by my dear friend and companion in many a delightful outing on stream and plain and in the forest, John Arthur Maney. The title, The Story of Old Fort Johnson, indicates the character and purpose of this work. It is not intended as a history of the life of Sir William Johnson, the grand old man of frontier literary fame, but as I reread the manuscript which is before me, I find that his name dominates nearly every page. It seems strange that a valley that was and is the highway to the great west, the Gate to India, has not had more attention from historians and writers of fiction, until this, the twentieth century.
