Paisano Encampment keeps West Texas revival alive since 1916
In remote Fort Davis mountains, Paisano Baptist Encampment sustains a yearly revival begun in 1916 by Rev. George W. Truitt and Rev. L. R. Millican. After a World War I pause, tents and fellowship resumed in 1921 and now host 2000 plus attendees each year. The diamond jubilee ended amid family memories, new facilities, and still no air conditioning.
