About this title

Synopsis

In the pages of this book are found specific directions for the location of over one thousand forts, camps and posts and the seventeen Western States. Civilian as well as military sites are included. Without questions, Tour Guide to Old Western Forts is the most comprehensive publication on this subject in print. Illustrated with more than 250 photos and drawings, this volume will be found priceless by the student of Western history. For those wishing to visit these backroads of American history, this book will prove invaluable. No one could be better qualified to compile such a volume than Herbert Hart. Long the "heart" of the Council on Abandoned Military Posts (CAMP), Herb has authored four previous works on Western forts. He has personally travelled to most of the sites listed in this book. Now Herb has paved the way for others to see these ghostly remains of our national heritage. Whether you tour in your car, a jeep (required for some sites) or simply in your armchair, Tour Guide to Old Western Forts is required reading.
