RE: US Military Posts named for Confederate generals
Fort Drum-Named after,Gen Richard Drum.He served with distinction in The Mexican War and Civil War.He died-10-15-1909.Thanks-Laurie
It was at General Drum's post in Southern California that 31 Camels were sent to Cavalry in the Civil War.Stanton ordered the Camels disposed of and wrote it off as a bad idea in 1863.
