Fort Brennand is an abandoned military fort in Red Dead Redemption 2 in the Roanoke Ridge region of the New Hanover territory.

Background

On May 8, 1863, the Confederate army under the command of General Quincy Harris attacked the fort at night, and all surviving U.S. Army soldiers were executed and burned.

The fort is in a dilapidated state since it is no longer in use by the U.S. Army. The fort in 1899 is a hideout for the Lemoyne Raiders gang and it's leader Lindsey Wofford. Lindsey is wanted dead or alive by the Saint Denis Police Department. Players can earn $100 dollars for doing this bounty.

Notes

• In the basement of the building inside the fort, players can find a re-skin for Arthur's knife called "The Civil War Knife," a gold nugget, and a Civil War Hardee Hat.
• A Civil War Report document written by First Lieutenant Ronald Alger can be found here.
• Under the collapsed walkway is a chest that contains the Special Horse Medicine Pamphlet.
• A cigarette card can be found here.

Trivia

• The massacre at Fort Brennand appears to be loosely based on the Battle of Fort Pillow (“Fort Pillow Massacre”) that took place on April 12, 1864 along the Mississippi River near the Arkansas-Tennessee border. Confederate soldiers massacred black Union troops and white officers who were attempting to surrender. Controversy continues today as to how many soldiers were killed, as well as to whether Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest ordered the massacre or the soldiers under his command acted spontaneously.
