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: Excerpt from Fort Pulaski National Monument, Georgia Fearing an attack by their perennial enemies at St. Augustine during the French and Indian War, Colonial leaders advocated the construction of a fort on Cockspur Island to protect the growing port at Savannah.

This pioneer fortification upon Cockspur served as a protection for Savan nah harbor and intermittently enforced quaran tine and customs regulations until 1776, when it was abandoned upon the approach Of the British fleet.

Download or read book A Master Plan for Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine Classic Reprint written by United States National Park Service and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-04-28 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Master Plan for Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine Fort mchenry, the low masonry citadel overlooking the entrance to Baltimore harbor, recalls a moment of crisis in the early years of the Republic. It commemorates both the stubborn American defense of the city on September 12-14, 1814, against a British land and naval assault and the song, composed by a young Washington lawyer, which celebrated that defense. After Francis Scott Key caught sight of the fort's flag, still flying after a day and a night of bombardment, he began writing the lines which were eventually adopted as our National Anthem. The ship on which Key drafted his first words, the hotel where he later revised the song, and the shop that printed it as a handbill the day after the battle have all long since disappeared. But the fort still stands as a reminder of the men and events that gave the country a classic expression of American patriotism. For nearly a century after the battle, the fort continued in active service, though it never fired another shot in anger and the changing technology of war condemned it to obsolescence. Since 1912 the fort and its 43 acres have been set aside for historical purposes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
