Album Info:

"Named for King George I of Britain, the fort was a typical small triangular-shaped European field fortification. Surrounded by a moat on two sides and the north branch of the Altamaha River on the third, the fort's main defense was a 26-foot-square blockhouse. A log palisade stood in the moat to deter enemy soldiers and Indians from storming the fort from the landside. Behind the palisade stood a parapet consisting of earthworks, firing walls and firing steps."

    • Anne got me searching. According to this site: http://www.gastateparks.org/fortkinggeorge/ - "From 1721 until 1736, Fort King George was the southern outpost of the British Empire in North America." ... Yours is a terrific photo, Clark!
