Re: Old books mentioning starforts

Is there anyway to rotate the pics, change order and add labeling to individual pics after posting? I took down my Ft Pickens pics I put up earlier because the were out of whack sequentially and I couldnt label.

Re: Old books mentioning starforts

:D Showing that gave me the butt kick I needed to get this posted. From a German book my family has had since printing, believe is the attached map. I believe the book dates to the j690s. I got it restored earlier this year to share with David Wells but never did. How many stars can you find in this...

Re: Fort Morgan, Mobile Bay, Alabama, USA

Lol, yes absolutely fantastical musings. :D

The narrative that the batteries were built later is obvious because they look like crap with much lesser quality construction compared to the original star....kinda like building architecture all over the flat.

The brickworks involved stagger the mind.

Fort Pickens, Pensacola, Florida, USA

May ‘19 Visit with Mom

Some of the story boards are included. And stories they are.

This star is particularly interesting because a good sized section was blown out, exposing construction.

Fort Morgan, Mobile Bay, Alabama, USA

From last weeks tour.

Allegedly built by 200 slaves “rented” by US gov’t from plantation owners between 1819-1834.

Multiple batteries added later.

Scale of structure & Arches awfully impressive for unskilled labor.
