American Civil War Fortifications (1)

Coastal brick and stone forts
This title examines the stone forts that played a crucial part in the course of the American Civil War, showing a wide range of fortifications from the Gulf of Mexico through to New England. It covers their design, construction and the way that they were armed and manned.
At the start of the American Civil War (1861), some of the most powerful torts in the country were located in the secessionist states, and many of these fell into Confederate hands. Although a handful of key sites remained in the Union, the remainder had to be won back through bombardment or assault. Forts such as Fort Sumter, Fort Morgan and Fort Pulaski formed the centerpiece in the struggle for control of the Confederate coastline. This book examines the stone forts that played a crucial part in the course of the Civil War, covering their design, construction, and the way they were armed and manned.
