Bermuda Forts By
Dr. Edward Cecil Harris, F.S.A. From the time of settlement in 1612 until the withdrawal of the British garrison in 1957, some 90 forts were built at Bermuda. This exceptional book explores the history and impact of such forts, through the turbulent early days of colonisation, to their importance as part of Britain’s mighty "Fortress Bermuda." |
Replete with more than 400 illustrations, the book is the result of 15 years of archival and archaeological research. It is a must for everyone interested in the heritage of this remarkable Island.
Praise for Bermuda Forts:
"This long-anticipated book is a major addition to Bermuda’s published history. An added delight is that it can be dipped into with real enjoyment without having to be read all at once. The illustrations are a mine of fascinating information all on their own."
– ANDREW TRIMINGHAM
"Dr. Harris’ book is a marvel of industrious imagination...No story has been left untold, no important episode unrecorded. It is a wonderful record of what has been and what still remains."
– PROFESSOR QUENTIN HUGHES
