Title
English: Troops at Fort Lawton, ca. 1914
Description
English:

In the 1890s, the U.S. Army built a group of forts to protect the entrance to Puget Sound. One of these, Fort Lawton, was begun in 1898 in what is now Seattle's Discovery Park. By 1910, a group of wooden buildings had been built around the fort's parade ground. Few companies were stationed there until World War II, when the fort became a center for troops leaving for duty in the Pacific. In this photo, taken around 1914, cavalry troops ride around the Fort Lawton parade ground in Seattle.

Original photograph: ca. 1914. Copied after 1975 by the Museum of History and Industry.
