| The goal is to combine the known public information about the forts, stations and batteries with detailed information from individual family histories and genealogies that may not be public. These histories and genealogies are rich with details about ancestors who lived, worked and fought at these forts and stations.

| We are embarking on a trip through the southern states to document as many forts as we can along our route. You can see our route on our [[:Category:2009 Southern Trip|2009 Southern Trip page]]. You can get Twitter updates daily at [http://twitter.com/FortWiki Twitter/FortWiki] and you can get more substantial updates at the [http://usforting.com USForting.com]. Let us know if you have any any suggestions for stops or places along the way that we should see. [[User:John Stanton|John]]

| We have established a [http://usforting.com USForting.com Blog] to help us describe our visits to forts and batteries. We hope that these descriptions will help others and make visits easier and more productive. Everyone is invited to participate so, if you want to blog about your fort visits, contact me and I will establish an author login for you. [[User:John Stanton|John]]
