Some of the best surviving examples of the 1870s fortifications are at Fort Wadsworth in New York City, Fort McHenry in Baltimore, Fort Pulaski near Savannah, and Battery Cavallo at Fort Baker in San Francisco. Note: Many of these “fort” or location names were not in use in the 1870s, but are later, mostly Endicott names. They are used because they will be familiar to the reader and serve as an aid to help place and locate the sites today.
