Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Mobile Army of the United States Office of the Secretary of War, Washington, January 25, 1912. The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Washington, D.C. Sir: In compliance vnt the request contamed in House resolution 343 I have the honor to submit the following information covering the statements made in my annual report for the year 1911, concerning the distribution of the mobile Army of the United States.(1) The names of all Army posts which have been located in their present situations for reasons which are now totally obsolete: Fort Apache, Ariz., established 1870, to protect the settlements against raids of Apache Indians. Boise Barracks, Idaho, established 1863, to protect emigrant trains against the Shoshone Indians. Fort Clark, Tex., established 1853, to guard the San Antonio and Eagle Pass wagon road and for the protection of the Rio Grande border against depredations byMexicans and Indians. Fort D.A. Russell, Wyo., established 1867, to protect the Union Pacific Railroad in this vicinity and the lines of travel south to Denver and north to Fort Laramie and beyond from attacks by the Arapahoe Indians. Fort Douglas, Utah, established 1858, on account of trouble with the Mormons and to prevent depredations by Indians along the line of the overland mail route. Fort Huachuca, Ariz., established 1881, for protection against depredations by Indians and cattle thieves. Fort Leavenworth, Kans., established 1827, as an outpost to protect the Santa Fe trail against Indians, principally the Delawares and Pawnees. Fort Mackenzie, Wyo., established 1898, as a central post in the vicinity of the large Indian reservations of Wyoming, Montana, and South Dakota, including the Crows, Northern Cheyenues, Shoshones, Sioux, and the Brules. The establishment of this post enabled old Forts Custer and Washakie to be abandoned. Fort Meade, S. Dak., established 1878 to protect citizens of the Black Hills country from hostile attacks of the Sioux and other Indian tribes congregating in or inhabiting that locality. Fort Missoula, Mont., established 1877 as a restraint upon Flathead Indians living in the vicinity. Fort Riley, Kans., established 1853 to protect the advancing line of settlement toward the new territory acquired in the southwest as a result of the Mexican War. Fort Robinson, Nebr., established 1874 near the Red Cloud Indian Agency, around which were gathered about 12, 000 Indians, mainly Ogalala, Sioux, Cheyennes, and Arapahoes. Fort Sill, Okla., established 1869 as the base of operation against the hostile Cheyennes and Kiowa. Fort Snelling, Minn., established 1820 as an extreme outpost in the Indian country. While all these posts were established for reasons that are now obsolete, new conditions have since arisen which may require the continuance of a number of them. 1 A possibility of Indian trouble still exists.
