I believe that forts stem from all the great Western movies from awhile ago. And their actors were just as great! Check off your favorite Western or Cowboy movie actors: Gary Cooper

Finally, when playing fort we played Cowboys and Indians. Given the trend to always be "pc" would you allow your kids, today, to use the terminology "Cowboys and Indians"? Yes
