Cavalry capturing a fort

[Felix]

The cases from 1806 are from a situation where the Prussian army had collapsed, and are rather cases of receiving the surrender of garrisons, as opposed to "taking" a fortified place. Stettin was more than a fort, by the way, rather a major fortified city. I don't know what the situation was in Baton Rouge during the Civil War; it could have been merely handing over the keys to the doors, rather than any kind of combat operation.
