Like stalwart soldiers standing silent guard, the mighty fortresses
of Savannah once served as guardians over the new colony of
Georgia. In 1733, Gen. James Oglethorpe, upon stepping ashore in
this new world, authorized fortifications to be constructed to
protect her new residents. Forts and townships now known only in
name defended Georgia's first citizens against the Native Americans
and the Spanish. Later they would stand a much greater challenge
protecting them against more aggressive foes-the British, the Union
Army, and ultimately, the Third Reich of Germany.
Through vintage photographs of these magnificent architectural
structures and the faces of devoted soldiers who once stood upon
their ramparts, readers will feel as if they too were standing a
vigilant watch, looking across the vast marshes and rivers
surrounding Savannah. The images within these pages celebrate and
honor the fortresses that allowed Savannah to prosper and expand
from a colonial outpost to the majestic queen city of Georgia.
