Fort Davis Recreated Fort Life Details Civil War Era
Visitors on a Fort Davis tour learn how soldiers lived in the frontier Army. Bunk frames were green to deter bugs, and each bunk bore a last name tag with historic records. Cavalry rules limited height and weight, saddles weighed about 90 pounds, and troops built roads and telegraph lines rather than fighting. Soldiers earned 13 dollars monthly with extra duties available. The fort became a historic site in 1961 and officers quarters are kept authentic, including a replica of Col. Grierson's home based on letters.
