(16,095 posts)What I was aiming for was the Susquehanna, at 444 miles, is the longest river entirely within the U.S. that has no commercial traffic, while the Colorado no longer has any shipping, but is home to commercial "traffic" in the recreational sense.
My embarrassment is intensified by having lived in Colorado for 50 years, and now crossing the Susquehanna a couple times each week.

(8,048 posts)Ft . Meigs in Perrysburg OH is said to the largest wooden fort. I grew up there, close enough to the fort site to occasionally find musket balls and other bits of metal.
applegrove
(125,750 posts)it was fully reconstructed. I just assumed the insides were wood.
VGNonly
(8,048 posts)I've never been in Nova Scotia, did pass the Quebec/Gaspe and New Brunswick while at Expo 67.
Ft. Meigs was constructed during the winter/spring of 1813 in 3 months during The War of 1812. The British General Henry Proctor along with Chief Tecumseh led the attacks. I believe that Canadian militia also took part. Two sieges advanced, both were repulsed. The fort was then taken down. The reconstruction took place in the early 1970s.

(125,750 posts)guide told us about a tunnel prisoners had dug to escape. I was beside myself with intrigue. That was in Kingston, Ontario. Been to the Citadel in both Halifax, NS and Quebec City. Redoubt in Halifax. Vibes that we are beyond war at this point.
