The Fort Barrancas Story
Fortress. Redoubt. Stronghold. Tower. Castle. Bastion. No matter the word for them, forts across the United States have stood the test of time and the elements, even after they outlived their usefulness. Between their splintered beams and cracked brick facades, the story of a nation is told.
Fort Barrancas, located along the shoreline bluffs of Pensacola Bay, Florida, stands as an early relic of the continentâs naval defense, and is a literal monument to human engineering and architecture. Built next to the original 1698 Spanish âFort San Carlos,â this âBastion on the Bluffsâ was completed in 1844. In The Fort Barrancas Story, author David Ogden goes into full detail about the fortâs design, its erratic ownership and conflictsâfrom Spain to Britain to Americaâand its often-overlooked influence on the trajectory of American military strategy.
