Reviews"This volume offers a valuable guide to much of the colonial forts of North America, and is highly recommended." -- Bolling Smith, The Coast Defense Journal "The book fills a gap in the coverage of Dutch and Swedish forts which are often missed in other books." -- Joe Kaufmann, Site O "Author Rene Chartrand takes us on a quick, but not hurried, tour of forts built by the British, Dutch and Swedish colonies between the 16th and 18th centuries. The color recreations of select forts of the period are wonderful, as are the contemporary plans drawn and the photograph of the sites as they exist today." -- Tim Kidwell, Model Retailer (March 2011), "The book fills a gap in the coverage of Dutch and Swedish forts which are often missed in other books." - Joe Kaufmann, Site O " Author Rene Chartrand takes us on a quick, but not hurried, tour of forts built by the British, Dutch and Swedish colonies between the 16th and 18th centuries.

SynopsisThe second in a two-volume study of forts in colonial North America, this title offers a detailed look at various types of fortifications built between the times of the earliest British settlements in North America in the late 16th century until the end of the Seven Years War, when France ceded New France to Britain. With photographs of these sites as they are today, specially-commissioned artwork depicting the forts in their original uses and detailed maps, author Rene Chartrand also provides readers a valuable look back at early American colonial life.

The Forts of Colonial North America
Excellent introductory work; it does a superb job of what it sets out to do, it provides a great general background, excellent examples, and inspires further study. The original illustrations are fantastic.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
