This is an unique volume treating a phase of American history that has
never before been presented. Mr. Hammond, in his excellent literary style
with the aid of a splendid camera, brings us on a journey through the
existing old forts of North America and there describes their appearances
and confides in us their romantic and historic interest. We follow the
trail of the early English, French and Spanish adventurers, and the
soldiers of the Revolution, the War of 1812 and the later Civil and
Indian Wars. We cover the entire country from Quebec and Nova Scotia to
California and Florida, with a side trip to Havana to appreciate the
weird romance of the grim Morro Castle. Here is something new and unique.
