Washington – A Look At The Fort
In 1859, a group of US Army soldiers consented to build a big fortification in Washington that became known as the renowned Fort Coville. This ancient photo appears to have been taken right after they finished constructing the fortification, but no one is seen.
The US military will use the area to assist their troops during their many clashes with Native American tribes. The post was also intended to protect miners who had recently arrived in search of gold in the region.
