People, Plots and Places of the Wild West: Military Fort in Review
The PDF lacks bookmarks and, though short, has enough sections that these would have been useful. Navigation is okay. The text is one or two column format and appeared to be free of errors. As well as the maps, there are a number of black and white illustrations. Presentation is decent.
This, like others in its range, is a short, inexpensive supplement that can be used to add a generic fort to a Western setting. Though the fort is presented as being a historical one, it will still work for such as Weird West settings, perhaps with some modifications to such as the Plot Hooks.
