A treasure of Irish literary fiction set in DONEGAL
The Fort
Location(s): Massachusetts
Genre(s): Historical
The story is set principally about the Americans attempting to dislodge a British incursion at Majabigwaduce, Massachusetts, Summer 1779.
Seven hundred and fifty British soldiers and three small ships of the Royal Navy. Their orders: to build a fort above a harbour to create a base from which to control the New England seaboard.
Forty-one American ships and over nine hundred men. Their orders: to expel the British.
The battle that followed was a classic example of how the best-laid plans can be disrupted by personality and politics, and of how warfare can bring out both the best and worst in men. It is a timeless tale of men at war, written by a master storyteller.
