Description
Excerpt from A History of Fort Caswell, North Carolina
Fort Caswell, the remains of which you can see as you drive through the North Carolina Baptist Assembly at Southport, North Carolina, has a simple but interesting history. When it was first built, Fort Caswell was one of the best constructed forts in the United States and guarded the entrance to the Cape Fear River and thus to the Port of Wilmington. However, Fort Caswell never played what might be called a glorious role in any military con?ict. It is even reasonably safe to say that there has never been a life lost at Fort Caswell due to enemy fire even though the fort changed hands four times in the Civil War era.
