Fort Sill memories from Gen Stone recount life on post
The elderly general recalls Fort Sill days with quiet humor and pride. He highlights figures such as Geronimo's confidant Father Isidore, Quanah Parker, and Lawtonians who enjoyed polo, baseball, and hunting on the post. Stone describes the hot pre-air era, a rainy Kansas City arrival in 1908, and a enduring homey feeling at Sill. He notes his career from the Army Academy 1898 through Spanish-American War, Philippine Insurrection, World War I, and retirement as a major general in 1940.
