Description
McGowans Pass Harlem Hights (Heights New York City)
In the early 1800s, tensions between the United States and Great Britain were high due to the War of 1812 (1812-1815). McGowan's Pass, a strategic location through the Hudson Highlands, played a crucial role in the war effort. "Works" refer to military fortifications built or strengthened around the pass in 1814 to defend against a potential British invasion.
While the exact location of McGowan's Pass is a bit debatable, historical evidence suggests it was situated in the Hudson Highlands, likely in the area around present-day Fort Washington Park in Upper Manhattan, New York City.
