TRUE TALES OF LIFE AND DEATH AT FORT ADAMS

FROM THE HISTORY PRESS

Fort Adams, the most massive and complex military fortification ever constructed on the east coast of the United States, guarded the strategic entrance to Narragansett Bay and Newport Harbor for 150 years. Yet its place in history is largely forgotten because this behemoth of the U.S. Coast Artillery Corps never saw a single battle.

 

The battle at Fort Adams was simply getting through everyday life…a battle that was often lost in chilling, mysterious, and tragic ways. More than 200 graves lie beyond the fort’s walls: men, women, and children; heroes and villains; suicides, lovers, and murderers; unfortunate victims of fate. True Tales of Life and Death at Fort Adams tells the stories of some of them. Far from being a place where “nothing ever happened,” Fort Adams’ past brims with all the drama of a small town community through a century and a half of living and dying.

 

ALSO AVAILABLE AS AN E-BOOK FOR KINDLE, NOOK, AND IPAD.

"The stories Kathleen tells in her book bring Fort Adams back to life. Once again you can experience the sights and sounds of people leading their daily lives within the walls of North America’s largest coastal fortification. While her stories focus primarily on how people met their end, you’ll also find stories of hope and inspiration....Through extensive research, Kathleen brings vivid detail to stories that many familiar with Fort Adams knew as little more than rumor or folklore. Her storytelling ability combined with a detailed investigation into facts and circumstances allows you to engage in the events that took place here and to draw your own conclusions."  ~ from the foreword by Robert J. McCormack, Director of Marketing and the Visitor Experience, Fort Adams Trust
