Saint John Fortifications: 1630-1956 Paperback - 2003
by Roger Sarty; Doug Knight
From the rear cover
Straddling the mouth of one of North America's great rivers, Saint John has been an important seaport and guardian of a vast hinterland since the early 1600s. Saint John Fortifications, 1630-1956 tells the story of the port's defences, from Fort La Tour, built in 1632, to the twentieth-century installations designed to repel German attackers. Each new defence system has incorporated the old, protecting the port throughout the conflicts that have shaped Canada: the century and a half of wars between England and France, the American Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the American Civil War, and the two World Wars. Although the last of the modern fortifications on Partridge Island was disabled in 1956, many sites still contain substantial reminders of their past strength.
Saint John Fortifications, 1630-1956 is the first volume in the New Brunswick Military Heritage Series.
