ditto St. Augustine, FL; Ft. Ti in NY; and you might also consider Ft.
Frederick in MD.  And this is just the masonry forts.

A lot of the British wooden forts like Wm. Henry and Edward in NY utilized
Vauban principles.

I think we need an all-day prime-time plenary session on Vauban forts at
the next SHA meetin' (are ya listenin' Larry or David?) in lieu of femmist
theory stuff.

Actually, it would be really neat to have such a session that would examine
frontier/imperial defense systems from the time of the Romans thru the 18th
century.  The fact that the SHA is meetin' in Albuquerque next year would
be the perfect opportunity to roll in the Spanish frontier defense
policies/practices as an adjunctt to a broader world view/approach to the
subject over time. But, you run the risk that it might be dumped into the
Sunday morning at 6AM time slot.

Hurray, this is some REAL historical archaeology for a change!!!  ;o)

I wonder if they might be interested in Vauban-inspired forts in the US?
We
have one here in Nashville, Tn.
