FORTRESS MONROE AND IT'S PROTECTOR
Just before the capitulalion of UIm, Napoleon
sent Captain Bernard, young officer Of
engineers, on an important accommodating
expedition. With great skill and intrepidity
he prosecuted his mission, advancing almost
TO Vienna. On his return Napoleon personally
examined him, and was much pleased with
his answers. Among otherth things he remarked
that 1t would be of great advantage to direct
me army upon Vienna, passing by the fortified
PLACES, and that once master of the canitaI
the Emperor might dictate laws for the whole
Austrian monarchy. This was taking too
great liberty. Napoleon severely replied,
You are very presumptious! a young officer
TO pretend to trace out campaign for me!
Go and await my orders.n So soon as the
young man had retired Napoleon turned to
General Rapp and said, "There is man of
merit; he has observed correctly; I shall not
expose him to the risk Of being shot; shall
have occasion for him by and by" This young
man finally became an aid to Napoleon and
one Of the most distinguished engineers in the
world. 1t was he who planned Fortress
Monroe at Old Point Comfort. Through the
influence Of Mr.. GalIatin, himself foreigner,
Gen. Bernard was appointed at the head of
the Board Of Commissioners on Sea Coast
Detences, and with him were associated Com
modores Lewis Warrington and j. D. Elliott,
Chief Engineer, j. G. Swift, Colonel Of
Engineers, W. X. Arnstead, and Major of
Engineers, w. M'Kee. Fresh from the grand
army of Napoleon, General Bernard had the
most extrayagant ideas of military works, and
planned his Notifications to be garrisoned, not
by hundreds and thousands, but by tens and
hundreds Of thousands. He had a notion that
depended yU N axe gre a3' o 2 npS fP Pe
pregnability and capacity Of her lines Of fortif-
cations. He had not yet learned that the true
strength of a land of liberty lies in the stout
hearts and strong arms of her brave yeomanry.
Under these circumstances was old Fortress
Monroe planned and constructed, with her
massive strength and enormous proportions.
