English: View of steam sidewheel steamer Pacific taken from Fort Tongass, Tongass Island, US Military District of Alaska, 1868. Photographer Eadweard Muybridge was part of the expedition led by Major-General Henry W. Halleck, commander of the U.S. Military Division of the Pacific, to inspect the newly purchased Alaska, acquired by the US from the Russian Empire in 1867.
Fort Tongass was established on April 29th, 1868 by US Army Capt. Charles Pierce commanding the 2nd Artillery, Battery E, who also commanded Fort Steilacoom, Washington Territory. The garrison consisted of about 54 officers and enlisted men and a few civilian employees. It was abandoned in 1870. In the foreground is M-1841 Mountain Howitzer. |
