Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fort Pulaski: National Monument, Georgia A few years later Colonial leaders, fearing an attack by their peren nial enemies at Spanish St. Augustine, advocated the construction of a fort on Cockspur Island to protect the growing port of Savannah. As a result Fort George, a palisaded log blockhouse, was begun In 1761 under the supervision of His Majesty's surveyor-general John Gerar William de Brahm. This pioneer fort on Cockspur Point provided a measure of defense for the Savannah harbor, but principally enforced quarantine and customs regulations, until the revolutionary activities of 1776 when it was dismantled and abandoned by the Patriots, who knew the fortification could not stand against a strong fleet.

This book was released on 2018-04-28 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Master Plan, Fort Pulaski National Monument, Georgia For more than two centuries, Cockspur Island has had an unbroken history of use for defensive purposes, serving as the site of three forts. Beacons, lighthouses, and quarantine stations, dating back to the 18th century, have utilized sites on the island. It was a transshipment point for colonists and colonial cargoes, and during the Revolution it was briefly the capital of Georgia when the Royal Governor took refuge there with the Great Seal. Here in 1736, John Wesley, the founder of Methodism began his mission on American soil. Here also in 1829, Robert E. Lee began his remarkable military career. After the War of 1812, because of the great weakness of American coastal defenses, Congress authorized construction of Fort Pulaski to guard the trade and commerce of Savannah and the Savannah River. Completed in 1847, the Fort was considered impregnable. The massive walls insured protection from attack by sea and the salt marshes prevented attack or approach from land.a?

Book excerpt: Forts are a lasting tribute to the prominence of the US military, and Fort Pulaski stands among these magnificent fortresses. Overlooking the mouth of the Savannah River and the Atlantic Ocean, Fort Pulaski is named in honor of Gen. Casimir Pulaski, Revolutionary War hero and father of the US Cavalry, which endured some of the most damaging artillery combat in early American warfare. In addition to its unfortunate notoriety for serving as the first fort where a rifled cannon was successfully tested in combat against masonry forts, it played a part in other significant events, including a baseball game during the Civil War where one of the first photographs of the sport was taken with the newly invented camera. Ultimately, the fort was considered important enough to be preserved and designated a national monument.

This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Built in the decade or so before the First World War and now used as administrative offices for Fort Pulaski National Monument, the Quarantine Attendants' Quarters is the only historic structure remaining from the quarantine station established by the City of Savannah on Cockspur Island in 1889 and operated by the U. S. Public Health Service after 1899. Although the building has recently undergone extensive rehabilitation, this historic structure report was commissioned “to guide park management and staff in making the critical decisions concerning the interpretation, protection, and preservation of this historic resource.” Historical research for this report began with a search of the archival records of Savannah City Council, which included “Minute Books, 1822-1864,” held by the Georgia Historical Society, and “Records of the Committee on Public Health, 1861-1932,” and “Quarantine Books, Quarantine Reports of Arrival of Vessels, Quarantine Station Reports, Contracts 1852-1957,” all held at the City Hall Records Center. These and historic photographs in the park's collection provided documentation that the present structure is not the original residence constructed by the City of Savannah in 1891, as had been previously believed. Analysis of numerous historic maps, photographs, and NPS planning documents from the late 1930s support dating the building's construction to the first two decades of the twentieth century, most likely around 1912, but additional historical research will be necessary to document its construction more precisely. In particular, the records of the U. S. Public Health Service in the Philadelphia branch of National Archives would likely allow more precise dating of the building and perhaps provide original plans and specifications. Additional research in Navy records could document the extensive rehabilitation that the building underwent in 1942 and 1943, the results of which are now one of the building's more significant features. The last building associated with the quarantine station that operated on Cockspur Island from 1889 until 1937, the Quarantine Attendants' Quarters also represents a long history of non-military use of the island. Quarantine stations existed on Cockspur Island or across the sound at Lazaretto Creek off and on for most of two centuries, and lighthouse keepers came and went for almost as long. While Fort Pulaski's significance is of paramount importance, interpretation of other aspects of the island's military history is also possible, with the Navy's adaptation of the quarantine station during World War II changing the face of Cockspur Island almost as much as construction of the fort had done a hundred years earlier. Development of an historic resource study that focused on the island's use for quarantine would be particularly helpful in providing a context for understanding and interpreting the present building.
