The number and variety of forts and posts, together with changes
of location, name, and designation, have posed perplexing problems
for students of western history. Now Robert W. Frazer has prepared
a systematic listing of all presidios and military forts, which
were ever, at any time and in any sense, so designated.
The lists of posts are arranged alphabetically within the
boundaries of present states. Pertinent information is included for
each fort: date of establishment, location, and reason for
establishment; name, rank, and military unit of the person
establishing the post; origin of the post name and changes in name
and location; present status or date of abandonment; and
disposition of any existing military reservation. A map for each
state shows the location of the posts discussed. A prime reference
for historians, Forts of the West will prove useful to readers of
western history as well.
