Description

Visit a Louisiana landmark that tells a big piece of the American story. Fort Jesup was founded two centuries ago, a bulwark on the youthful nation's western frontier. During its long run as a military post, it was visited by over one thousand soldiers and officers, many of whom would make a lasting impact on American history. The long list of luminaries includes Presidents Zachary Taylor and Ulysses S. Grant, over forty officers who would become Civil War generals, and two Surgeons General, one of whom would treat Abraham Lincoln after he was shot. Thousands of settlers also passed through on their way to Texas, using the fort as a waypoint on their journey. As citadel and stopping post, Fort Jesup played a critical role during the nation's formative years. Author Scott DeBose shares the sprawling story of this Louisiana icon.

Author Biography:

Scott DeBose has been interested in Fort Jesup since he was a young child, visiting the site on school trips and family visits. He began volunteering at the site while in high school in 1995, and the next year, he was hired to be a tour guide and researcher. He continued to work at the site through college and served as a lab assistant for the Fort Jesup Archeological Field School. Mr. DeBose received a Bachelor of Arts degree in history and a Bachelor of Arts degree in anthropology in 2003 and a Master of Music degree in 2010 from Northwestern State University. Mr. DeBose is currently the director of bands at Many High School and the president of the Friends of Fort Jesup Inc.
