First published: 1996
Description: Fort McAllister is the best preserved earthwork in the former Confederacy.  The fort was built to check Union naval advancement up the Great Ogreechee River, which flowed to within 12 miles of Savannah, Georgia--an important port city for the South. Attacked 8 times by the United States Navy, Fort McAllister finally fell when Major General William T. Sherman's troops captured it in dramatic fashion, ending the "March To The Sea".  The fort and its environs are now a Georgia state park.
