Fort Stevens is famous because it is the location where President Abraham Lincoln came under fire as he risked it all to observe the battle. The fort is still standing so come take a look.

  • ok I have no ideah how it posted three times on your video I'm sorry about that Please do delete two of them.

  • Something I forgot to mention, about at the end of the video you show the Dry Moat surrounding the fort. It is likely that during the war the Wall was probably much more steep, and the dry moat could have been as deep as 10 to 20 foot, with a 90 degree drop into it from either embankment. The filling in of the dry moat and collaps of some of the walls is a common problem in earth work forts of the civil war and earlier periods.

  • I believe that the One in Origon was named in honor of the one in Washington, I may be wrong.. As for the cannons. NICE those look like.. Either 1 or 200 lbs parrots.. On the siege type carrage no less, ver nice attention to detail 5 stars man.
