"From Fort Dearborn to Mochudi: A Journey through Stockades" Step back in time and explore the fascinating history of stockades around the world. Starting with Fort Dearborn, located on the site of modern-day Chicago, witness the resilience and determination of early settlers as they built a stronghold against adversity. Venturing further, we find ourselves amidst the turmoil of Africa's Sudan Wars. The stockade becomes a symbol of defense and survival as it stands tall against enemy forces, protecting both soldiers and civilians alike. Traveling across continents, our next stop takes us to Cincinnati, Ohio. Behold Fort Washington, erected in 1790 - a testament to America's quest for expansion and security during its formative years. But they are not confined to American soil alone. In Canada's rich history lies an epic tale - Dollard fights Iroquois. Witness bravery unfold as a small group defends their settlement within sturdy wooden walls against overwhelming odds. Across oceans now to South America where Spanish forts rise from the landscape like guardians against indigenous tribes such as the Mocovi Indians. These illustrations from "Hacia alla y para aca" depict their strategic importance in safeguarding colonial interests. The horrors of war continue to haunt us as we delve into darker chapters. Picture a German garrison massacred during African conflicts or envision China engulfed by chaos during the Taeping Rebellion – all unfolding within fortified structures that once offered solace but became scenes of bloodshed. Yet amidst these tales of strife emerges hope for peace. An Anglo-French fort stands battered after battle during China's second war; Peking bears witness to clashes between nations seeking dominance while striving for stability. Even closer to home is Yakima's famed stockade captured by Dorothea Lange in 1939 – an enduring symbol of strength amidst economic hardships faced by Americans during that era.
