About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1898.

Across the harbor from Morro stands the quaint old Castillo de la Punta, a square, bastioned stone fort, mounting three or four old Parrots and one lone Hodman fifteen-inch gun, such as we are removing from Fort Hamilton and Fort Wadsworth. Orders, however, have just been received to mount old cannon, several dozen of which lay around the disarmed batteries that stretch from Castillo de la Punta all the way to Cavellaria Wharf.
