Oh, now that is awesome! Wow! They are absolutely beautiful. Thanks, MG!
Seamus, be sure to scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on the book of fort plans. You can scroll through them, page by page. No Fort Augusta, but many others, including Forts Ligonier, Ti, Edward and William Henry. And the cartographer was a woman! |

Hey WW! Already been there, done that....alas, no t-shirt. Already copied the 'appropriate' ones.........
Good source! |

It's a book titled: "Outposts of the War for Empire, The French and English in Western Pennsylvania: Their Armies, Their Forts, Their People 1749-1764" by Charles Morse Stotz, published by the Historical Society of Western Pennsylvania, University of Pittsburgh Press, 2005. ISBN 0-8229-4262-3. And Fort Augusta is in there. 203 pages, and the book measures 11x14. |

Guys, if you haven't been to the new Fort Necessity battlefield museum, you owe it to yourself to pay it a visit. It is greatly expanded, and in a little bit different spot than the old one. Lots to see, and the architecture is fantastic. Expanded displays!
My Shawnee 4x great-grandfather, Willenawah aka Great Eagle, fought here with the French in 1754, and against the British again at the Battle of the Monongahela in 1755. He also fought in support of Pontiac and Guyassutter at the Battle of Bushy Run. He survived many fights, but died during the Revolution in 1777. Willenawah's wife, Elizabeth Gray (my adopted Shawnee 4x great-grandmother) was captured in western Maryland in 1755. During prisoner exchanges, she chose to remain with the Shawnee.
Nothing unusual for the time period. |

| I visited it last August and met Brian Reedy, the head Ranger/Interpreter or whatever his correct title is. I was very impressed by him, which says a lot since I am usually not impressed by NPS personnel. I plan to go back when I am in that area. |
