There is an old fort on an island in the Dry Tortugas (islands off Florida) called, I believe, Fort Jefferson. The fort takes up basically the whole little island. The only way to get there is by boat or sea plane. The fort was turned into a prison and was a pretty grim place. This is where Dr. Mudd, who set John Wilkes Booth's leg after Booth assassinated President Lincoln, was incarcerated. The fort is open to the public as a park run by the US National Park Service. You can go out there and take a self-guided tour of the fort/prison (there are various explanatory panels around the fort.) It is quite an eerie place. ************************************************************************* * Felicia Pickering Processing Laboratory Department of Anthropology * * National Museum of Natural History ***** Smithsonian Institution * * Internet: [log in to unmask] *********** Bitnet: mnhan063@sivm * *************************************************************************
