Fort Sheridan

Famous quotes containing the words fort and/or sheridan:

    There was a deserted log camp here, apparently used the previous winter, with its “hovel” or barn for cattle.... It was a simple and strong fort erected against the cold, and suggested what valiant trencher work had been done there.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Here is the steed that saved the day,
    By carrying Sheridan into the fight,
    From Winchester, twenty miles away!”
