Spanish fort discovered in Morganton, NC

1. Looks as if your friend was right in suspecting this fort has been there.

What a jolt they would get if someone discovered next that there has been gold there from the first!

Had no idea the Spanish would-be conquistadores went that far north and inland in the South Eastern part of the country.

Thanks for opening the door for us who never knew about this stage in US American history.

It would be great if they made more information available to the public as it is discovered.

It's good to think there was a moment, however brief, when the citizens who were already here still felt they had a say in their part of the world after the Europeans decided they were taking over and everyone had to get out of their way quickly or die painfully.
