Willden Fort : ウィキペディア英語版 | Willden Fort
Willden Fort was a wooden-palisade fort constructed on Cove Creek in Utah in 1860 by Charles William Willden and his son Ellott. It was occupied from 1860 to 1865, abandoned, then occupied briefly in 1867 during the construction of Cove Fort. ==Siting and construction== In 1852, Mormon leader Brigham Young sent Charles Willden to Cedar City to work in the ironworks the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was attempting to establish, since Willden had worked in the steel industry in Sheffield, England, prior to immigrating to the United States of America. While traveling between Salt Lake City, Utah, and Cedar City, the Willdens camped at Cove Creek and observed it to be a nice place to settle. When the ironworks failed in 1859, Willden decided to settle Cove Creek. He and his son Ellott built Willden Fort near the site of the still-present Cove Fort. They first constructed an adobe house, then enclosed it with a 150-foot square cedar-post stockade. The posts were 8 to 10 ft high, placed close together to form a solid wall.
