Michael,

If it is at all possible, you need to ask your teacher if you can switch projects. You'll be lucky to get two paragraphs on this fort, which is all that Powell Casey was able to come up with in his "Encyclopedia of Forts, Posts, Named Camps and Other Military Installations in Louisiana, 1700-1981."

The fort was originally built by Confederates, and was later a part of the Union defenses of New Orleans.
