One thing to bear in mind is that the stockade may have been 'indian style' - by that i mean a sufficient gap between each upright so troops could fire between the posts (rather than having to fire over them). That was the arrangement at Fort Bull - and it cost the garrison dear when the French raiders gained the stockade first.DChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872820354048836577noreply@blogger.com
