Located in the Davis Mountains in the vast arid region between the
Pecos River and El Paso, Fort Davis was established in 1854 and named
in honor of the secretary of war, Jefferson Davis. It was one of nu-
merous military posts spread across the Texas frontier in the mid-
nineteenth century to help in the opening and settlement of new ter-
ritory. At the same time that Captain Lee was stationed at Fort Davis,
sketching the fort and its rugged surroundings, Fort Inge was an active
military post on the Leona River. An article on Fort Inge in this issue
highlights the military activity there and offers a detailed look at the
tactics used in fighting Indians.
