Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is about the archaeological excavation of the powder magazine at Fort Michilimackinac. The fort was a French colonial settlement founded early in the 18th century and occupied continuously by the French until 1761. As a result of the French and Indian War, Michilimackinac was given by treaty to Great Britain, whose army occupied and rebuilt it for a short period thereafter. The powder magazine was a wood frame superstructure built over a basement. The magazine actually was of wood is supported by additional documentary evidence in the recently discovered Lotbiniere journal of 1749 and, as will be seen later, by the archaeological field work of 1974. Several letters make mention of the dismantling of a house adjacent to the powder magazine and have led several investigators to conclude that the magazine was razed for its timber and cut stone in 1781. The author suggests that the post was a major structural support for the vaulting above is reasonable. In fact, a similar roof is reported for the 1736 British powder magazine at Fort Frederica. Thus large fragments of wood found above the floor of the magazine are interpreted as collapsed roof beams. The 1974 field work revealed a building of upright log constructions. It measures about 14 feet by 18 feet in plan. Also found on the south as an integral part of the powder magazine is the entranceway, conceived and constructed more or less as an extension of the walls of the magazine itself. The floor of the powder magazine is apparently of either parallel planks or boards, possibly fastened (nailed) to underlying wood joists. Walls of the magazine, because they contained spaces between the uprights of 6 to 8 inches, were almost certainly reveted against collapse from the slope of the foundation.
