Book excerpt: Fort Sam Houston has been San Antonio's Army post since 1845. Originally located in the city, elements of the post began moving to Government Hill in 1876. Fort Sam Houston became one of America's most important military installations, witnessing the end of the Indian Wars, the Spanish-American War, the birth of military aviation, World Wars I and II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. "Fort Sam" contributed more than one million soldiers and airmen to the defense of the United States, including many of its most distinguished leaders. Its contributions to the nation merited its designation as a National Historic Landmark in 1974. More than 800 historic buildings are within its boundaries--more than at Colonial Williamsburg and the largest collection on any installation within the Department of Defense. Images of America: Fort Sam Houston portrays the fort during its first hundred years on Government Hill.

Download or read book Quadrangle The written by John M. Manguso and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2018 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed by Q.M. Gen. Montgomery Meigs and built in 1876 as a quartermaster supply depot, the Quadrangle evolved into a major regional headquarters. The Quadrangle has become synonymous with Fort Sam Houston. It has been immortalized in the art of Porfirio Salinas and the jewelry of James Avery. In Texas, the Quadrangle at Fort Sam Houston stands second only to the Alamo in historical significance. Designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1974 for its military contribution to the defense of the United States through the Indian Wars, the war with Spain, and both world wars as well as Korea, Vietnam, and the global war on terrorism, the Quadrangle continues its role as an active participant in national defense as the headquarters responsible for the land defense of North America. For almost 150 years, military activities have been conducted in the Quadrangle, and many of America's greatest soldiers and airmen have served within its walls--Ranald Mackenzie, Tasker Bliss, Frederick Funston, John J. Pershing, Billy Mitchell, Walter Krueger, and Jonathan M. Wainwright.

This book was released on 2016-03-06 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At Fort Sam Houston, you are literally surrounded by history. This installation is a National Historic Landmark with the largest collection of historic structures in the Department of Defense. Today's soldiers, Department of the Army Civilians, military family members and visitors walk the very ground where several generations of America's most distinguished soldiers have served this nation. Many features of the built environment at Fort Sam Houston bear the names of distinguished soldiers. Other features were named to reflect their function or use. Some of the names are quite familiar, like Eisenhower or Pershing. Other names are unfamiliar to all but the dedicated military historian. Familiar or not, the names of the soldiers memorialized here exemplify the Army Values-Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity and Personal Courage. The purpose of this guide is to identify those soldiers, and in some cases sailors, airmen and marines, whose names are memorialized at Fort Sam Houston and to illustrate the deeds or achievements which made them worthy of memorialization. An additional purpose is to identify the origin of the other street and place names which are also elements of the heritage of the installation. This guide is an addition to the Historic Neighborhood Awareness Program and includes information on all of the seven historic neighborhoods and the other neighborhoods as well.
