American Forts Network

Bibliography of Works Consulted

This is a master listing of works consulted for research on Latin American Forts. Additional information was gathered from many third-party websites, which will not be listed here. Websites are linked within the actual fort listings, or on the seperate LINKS page. Additional information and material was also sent in by email and regular postal mail from many people around the country, and is noted as such within the actual fort listings.

Where a certain source was used for more than one country, it will be listed here only once, either under GENERAL REFERENCES, or under the first (or major) country referenced. Travel guides and maps are denoted by the latest year acquired. Citations in blue indicate library sources that are not in my personal collection.
