Historic furnishings study - Armament and furnishings of the Fort Vancouver bastion
Hussey JA. 1973. Historic furnishings study - Armament and furnishings of the Fort Vancouver bastion. Historic Furnishing Reports. National Park Service. Denver, CO
The present study is a more extensive report covering primarily the guns, their carriages, their ammunition, and their side arms of the bastion at Fort Vancouver as they existed in 1845. The construction, the armament, and the other furnishings of the bastion at Fort Vancouver were discussed in some detail in volume I of the Historic Structures Report, Historical Data, Fort Vancouver, which was submitted during June 1972. When actual planning for the rearmament of the blockhouse was begun, however, it was found that more information would be required. The present writer was asked to conduct additional research and to submit a more extensive report covering primarily the guns, their carriages, their ammunition, and their side arms as they existed in 1845. The present study is the product of that research.
