Old Forts in America Calendar

There are so many well-known and forgotten forts in America, many of which changed how the United States grew as a country. This calendar exposes the reader to some of the rich history that took place at these historic sites. Some of the forts featured include Fort Abraham Lincoln, commanded by Lt. Col. George A. Custer, until he left his home at the fort to fight at the Battle of Little Big Horn. The Apple River Fort, which took all of seven days to build, and was one of the few attacked by chief Black Hawk during the Black Hawk wars of 1832. Fort Bridger, Fort Hall, and Bent's Fort played significant roles in helping emigrants reach the gold fields in California and the rich farmlands in Oregon and Washington. And there's more. I hope the brief history describing each photograph or site, as well as the additional information in the Index, encourages the reader to discover more about these forts, the people that created them, and those that interacted with them.
