ON 04/04/2010 we visited Fort Foster in Thonotosassa, FL. The log fort and wooden bridge spanning the Hillsborough River are reconstructions of the originals that were built here in 1836 during the Second Seminole War, said to be the most costly war in US history. The fort was to safeguard the bridge and thereby maintain communications along the Fort King Military Road from Tampa Bay to what is now Ocala, FL. Two different times the Seminoles attempted to burn the bridge and failed. The fort was manned until June 1838, and during the last few months its commander was General Zachary Taylor, later the 12th President of the US. The picture is of the fort as we approached the main gate.
