	Fort Adams - History
		Fort Pulaski was located on an island at the mouth of the Savannah River, and no less an engineer than Robert E. Lee had earlier pronounced it to be impervious to any artillery that could be placed within effective range.
		Fort Pulaski surrendered on April 11, 1862, a date that also could be said to mark the obsolescence of the masonry forts of the Third System.
		Fort Adams was rearmed, however, with new Rodman guns, 10-inch pieces in the casemates and 15-inch guns in open batteries atop the southwest bastion of the crown work.

	History of Fort Totten
		Fort Totten, and Fort Sisseton which is located in Northeastern South Dakota, are the only old Forts that I know of in the West that still stand like they were when built many, many years ago.
		During 1868 the present Fort buildings were commenced, the brick was made from clay cut from the base of Sully's Hill, lime was burned from limestone boulders picked from the shores of the lake, and the work was done by contract.
		When the troops moved into the brick fort the log fort was turned over to the Indian Department and was used for workshops and quarters for the employees, the same thing happened when Fort Totten was abandoned as a military post, it was turned over to the Indian Department and the present Indian School established.
