FMHA is pleased to announce that Terry McGovern has been elected to the FMHA Board of Directors.


Terry McGovern

Mr. McGovern has authored seven books and numerous articles on fortifications, four of those books being for Osprey’s Fortress Series (American Defenses of Corregidor and Manila Bay 1898-1945; Defenses of Pearl Harbor and Oahu 1907-50; American Coastal Defenses 1885-1950; Defenses of Bermuda 1612-1995). He has also published 12 books on coast defense and fortifications through Redoubt Press or CDSG Press. Terry was Chairman of the US-based Coast Defense Study Group (CDSG) and continues to be a long-time officer of CDSG. He has also been the editor of the Fortress Study Group annual journal, FORT. He is a director of the International Fortress Council and the Council on America’s Military Past. 

As can be seen, Terry brings a vast knowledge of coastal defense history to FMHA and will be a valuable resource and contributor to the continuing restoration and development of the Fort Miles Museum.
