Praise for Jim Millard's
new
"Bastions on the Border..."
"...meticulously
researched and detailed...dissolves the mists of legend around the
two fortifications. "Bastions" goes into extensive and fascinating
detail...a "must have" for anyone who has ever explored the old fort
and its grounds..."
Plattsburgh Press Republican
(Full Review)
"It is
really a terrific book... [Millard's] exhaustive study
of the documents connected to the forts and masterful
presentation of the materials is laudable...quality and
variety of the images is terrific..."
And his "Fort
Montgomery: Through the Years..."
"...a superb job of researching and
writing...the effort alone in gathering these rare photographs and
interpreting the ruins is remarkable."
Dr. Russell P. Bellico-
Historian/Author
"Sails and Steam in the Mountains: A Maritime and Military History of
Lake George and Lake Champlain" and other titles
"...technical
details of the fort are sound and reflect the extensive research done by
the author, as well as the level of detail involved in his repetitive
explorations of the site. I consider it a “must buy” for anyone
interested in this period of fortifications, or in the history of the
northern frontier of the United States.”
