Description

The First Two Fort Moultries: A Structural History, Fort Sumter National Monument Edwin C. Bearss This publication provides a detailed structural history of the two forts at Fort Moultrie, one built during the American Revolution and the other constructed in 1794-1804. The fort played a significant role in two pivotal events in American history: the repulse of a British naval squadron in 1776, which boosted morale and independence movements, and the bombardment of Fort Sumter in 1860, which sparked the Civil War. The fort's design and construction are examined in depth, providing insight into its military significance. The book is based on extensive research and historical studies, including Historical Resource Study Proposal FOSU-H-4 and Historical Base Maps, Fort Moultrie. With over 110 pages of detailed information, this publication offers a unique perspective on the history and architecture of Fort Moultrie, making it an essential resource for historians and anyone interested in American military history.
