- Cover photo description:
- Fort Mason in San Francisco has history going back to the American Civil War even though no battles took place in California during this period. It did have the gold at the time which both side did want, and although the state was supplying the Union with troops, it also had a still open harbor, which the south did need. Since most of the residents of San Francisco at this time were from other countries more than there rest of this country, their ideals were to supporting and joining the Union. Privately owned by Major General John C Fremont, the land was seized by the federal government under orders by President Lincoln as it was too valuable to the war. The fort is named for Richard Mason, military governor of California before statehood, and descendent of George Mason, one of the signers of the Constitution and Bill of Rights. As a military base, there would also be a non denominational chapel, to serve the needs of all the service men, and woman. This chapel, built in 1942 and being in California, the only difference from the typical base chapel was being done in the Mission Revival style. As seen 20 October 2022.
