The Spring Hill Redoubt 

Walking through the streets of Savannah, Georgia, you may stumble across this fortification. This reconstructed redoubt was the goal which hundred of Americans were aiming for in an assault during the 1779 siege of Savannah. This peaceful southern city has been the target of two sieges, in 1779 and 1864. #Georgia #Savannah #Revolutionarywar #civilwar #redoubt #fortifications
