| description |
“This is a view of the interior of Fort Morgan, Alabama, which was finished as you see it now in 1833, built by slave labor and is perhaps the finest specimen brick architecture in America. The original Fort was built of sand and logs in the middle of the 16th century by the Spanish after capturing this point from the Indians. When the white flag of surrender was raised by the Confederates in 1864, it was flag number seven. Lying here in the white sand are the bones of the Indians, Spanish, French, British, the Blue and the Gray.” |
