Description
The American flag waves proudly over Fort McKavett on the edge of the American West near Menard Texas. Established to protect Anglo settlers in northern and western Texas from Comanche raiding parties and enforce some semblance of order along the San Antonio El Paso road. Closed just before the American Civil War the fort was used at times by Confederate and Texas forces, under the command of Ben McCulloch and his brother. Following the Civil War the fort was again used by the US Army, including the world famous 24th Infantry and 9th Cavalry.
