Summary:"This is the first book on the subject, from the fort's innovative design as part of America's "Second System" of coastal fortifications to the modern challenges of preserving its weathered brick walls against rising sea levels. It uses primary research and archaeological evidence to tell the full story of the Castle for the first time. Given its importance to America's history, it is a history long overdue"--
