Fort Morgan, located at the entrance to Mobile Bay, is named after Revolutionary War hero Gen. Daniel Morgan, who led a group of snipers, named Morgan's Sharpshooters, in defense of Boston after the Battle of Lexington and Concord in 1775. He is shown here in a portrait painted by Charles Willson Peale.
