{"product_id":"fort-story-and-cape-henry-9781531612399","title":"Fort Story and Cape Henry","description":"On April 26, 1607, the English colonists anchored at the entrance to the Chesapeake Bay and came ashore to the historic piece of land they named Cape Henry. Then, in 1917, a military post was established and fortified to protect the southern portion of the entrance to the Chesapeake Bay during World War I; it was named Fort Story. Expanded and heavily fortified to meet the demands of the Second World War, the post served as a principal installation for the Harbor Defenses of Chesapeake Bay. The big guns fell silent after that conflict, and the post became the \"Home of \u003cbr\u003eArmy Amphibians\" with over-the-beach operations. Today Fort Story continues to provide a superb training installation for the Army Transportation Corps and Special Operations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/10\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531612399\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.38d","brand":"Fielding Lewis Tyler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38471241892021,"sku":"9781531612399","price":27.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_fe1b8727-5c14-4595-81b7-47b2579f16f0.jpg?v=1612928917","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/fort-story-and-cape-henry-9781531612399","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
