### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice book to help you travel

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Detailed info about the construction of coastal forts
*by T***B on August 13, 2022*

When we visited Fort Pulaski in GA, the gift shop had the soft cover black-and-white version of this book. My mom bought that one, and when I decided I wanted one too (after our trip was over of course lol) I discovered this hardcover version had COLOR photographs. I'm glad we supported the fort with our purchase, but I'm also glad I ordered the color version on Amazon. This book is mostly about the construction or revision and architecture of forts built during the "third system" (I learned what that means from the book :) ) The author does not go into much history except as it relates to the design of the forts, so if you're looking for history this is probably not what you want. I like the information it gives, though I admit I sometimes skip over some of the details.
