True Tales of Life and Death at Fort Adams

 

THE HISTORY PRESS

ISBN-13: 978-1626191082

​

The stories of men, women, and children whose lives ended at historic Fort Adams in Newport, Rhode Island. Though the fort never came under enemy attack, thrilling tales of murder, romance, suicide, epidemics, unsolved crime, and fatal accidents abound throughout its 150 years as an active base of the U.S. Army Coast Artillery Corps. 

 

After examining documented historical accounts, the book's final chapter explores the possibility that these events have left a mark that lingers to this day in the form of paranormal occurrences. Do the fort's tragic memories - and perhaps the restless spirits of the dead - make themselves known to visitors, employees, and volunteers?

 

A portion of the proceeds from the sales of this book will be donated to the Fort Adams Trust for ongoing restoration, preservation, and educational programs at historic Fort Adams.
