Visit a Louisiana landmark that tells a big piece of the American story. Fort Jesup was founded two centuries ago, a bulwark on the youthful nation' s western frontier. During its long run as a military post, it was visited by over one thousand soldiers and officers, many of whom would make a lasting impact on American history. The long list of luminaries includes Presidents Zachary Taylor and Ulysses S. Grant, over forty officers who would become Civil War generals, and two Surgeons General, one of whom would treat Abraham Lincoln after he was shot. Thousands of settlers also passed through on their way to Texas, using the fort as a waypoint on their journey. As citadel and stopping post, Fort Jesup played a critical role during the nation' s formative years. Author Scott DeBose shares the sprawling story of this Louisiana icon.
