Looking For Fort Johnson-- Part 3: The Fort Is Found

A search team using several documentary clues and a series of auger tests along with a remote sensing survey explored several residential properties opposite the former mouth of the Des Monies River.

They discovered Fort Johnson's location by luck  Many military buttons and objects dating to the period of time were found.  In addition, physical and geo-physical evidence was found.

All but one of the fifteen 1 X 2 millimeter hand units had War of 1812 features.

Also, evidence of structures that were at the fort as shown on a hand-drawn map made by Captain James Calloway were located.  Callaway was stationed at Fort Johnson.
