Fort Stedman

Fort Stedman is the name of two historical sites:

  2. Fort Stedman in colonial Burma (now Maing Thauk), where British administration over the southern Shan States was established in 1887

Famous quotes containing the word fort:

    “The newspapers are the ruling power. Any other government is reduced to a few marines at Fort Independence. If a man neglects to read the Daily Times, government will go down on its knees to him, for this is the only treason these days.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
