Fort Sumter, located in Charleston, South Carolina, harbor, was named after General Thomas Sumter. However, the fort is best known as the site where the shots initiating the American Civil War were fired, at the Battle of Fort Sumter.\n\n \nMap detailing the location of Fort SumterFort Sumter was built after the War of 1812 as one of a series of fortifications on the southern U.S. coast. Construction began in 1829, using some slave labor, and the structure was unfinished in 1860, when the drama began. Seventy thousand tons of granite were imported from New England to build up a sand bar in the entrance to Charleston harbor, which the site dominates. The fort was a five-sided (although not a regular pentagon) brick structure, 170 to 190 feet long, with walls five feet thick, standing 50 feet over the low tide mark. It was designed to house 650 men and 135 guns in three tiers of gun emplacements, although it was never filled near capacity.

I would keep trying to contact someone at Ft. Bragg until you get some information. He has to be on a data base there somewhere. Good luck.

Dad was stationed there twice when I was a kid. The folks are retired outside of Columbus, GA now. There isn't a lot to do in the imediate area. But its a nice place to head to the beach from on the weekends. Atlanta is nice if you like big southern city life. If you have been there for schools then you know all about Victory Drive. Girl friend? Yep you really need to stay off VD drive. If you like fishing and outdoors stuff its not a bad place. If you or her are party animals..... go somewhere else. I grew up in the infantry, I can tell you that you don't want to go to Polk, Irwin or Drum. Best places were Italy, <---- best post oconus,  West Point, Fort Ord (when it was open) and Fort Sam Houston, TX <--- best post conus.

I'm guessing ... but I think you mean "Fort Nugent".\n\nThe fort is in/near Kingston Jamaica (see below).\n\nHarbour View was the site of this Fort which was first built by the Spanish slave agent in Jamaica, James Castillo, to guard his home against attack. The fort was later strengthened by the English Governor George Nugent, and named after him, to guard the eastern entrance of the city of Kingston. All that remains of Fort Nugent is the Martello Tower which was built probably in 1806. The Tower which was built at a cost of £12000 was a prototype of those built in Cape Martello in Corsica.

Legend has it that the nickname dates back to the American Civil War. Supposedly, during a battle in Virginia, the North Carolinian troops held their ground while supporting troops retreated. After the battle, supporting troops asked the victorious North Carolinians: "Any more tar down in the Old North State, boys?" and they replied: "No, not a bit; old Jeff's bought it all up." The supporting troops continued: "Is that so? What is he going to do with it?" The North Carolinian troops' response: "He is going to put it on you'ns heels to make you stick better in the next fight."

THE PLAIN STEEL marker on Sleepy Hole Road in Suffolk pings in the winter wind. It says that James Bowser was the only Negro from Nansemond County to fight in the American Revolution. \n\nread more about it on the website...\n\nit is a college with significant ties to the black community, so there is no suprise in a building being named after him.
