  • Fort Concho Historical Trail
    FORT CONCHO HISTORICAL TRAIL Brought to you by Concho Valley Council Boy Scouts of America FORT CONCHO HISTORICAL TRAIL Fort Concho was established on December 4, 1867, after the army had to abandon Fort Chadbourne (located north of what is now Bronte, Texas) for lack of good water. The new fort was located at the junction of the North and South Concho Rivers. The fort consisted of some forty buildings and was constructed of native limestone. Fort Concho was closed in June 1889 after having served this area for some twenty-two years. Today, the fort is a National Historical Landmark. The Fort Concho Historical Trail takes you not only through this Fort, but also along some of the streets of the settlement of Santa Angela, now San Angelo that was developed to serve the needs of the men who were stationed at the Fort. In 1870, a trader and promoter named Bart DeWitt bought 320 acres of land for $1.00 an acre, marked off town lots and offered them for sale. The town of Santa Angela grew from just a few people to the thriving city it is today. On the trail you will take downtown, you will see some of the old buildings of this early community as well as some of the other historical areas along the Concho River. The Concho River was named from the mussel shells found in the river. THOSE ELIGIBLE TO HIKE THE TRAIL All members of the Boy Scouts of America, the Girl Scouts USA and all adults, parents and Scouters who go with them, are eligible to hike the trail and earn the Fort Concho Historical Trail Patch if they follow the trail requirements as listed.

The escort was promised them on their arri­ val at the fort, but upon their arrival, that .officer advised them to pro­ ceed with ·their herd, and, as one of the petitioners swears, promised them an escort which would overtake them on· the 13th. They, under this advice, drove their herd about twelve miles and went into camp to await the arrival of the promised escort, when at about one o'clock on the morning of the 14th they were attacked by a large body of India,ns, a part of whom drove in the herders, while the others drove off the stock.

  • Grierson Family Essay with Pictures.Pub
    The First Family of Fort Concho The Griersons had a rich and exciting life before and after Fort Concho, but they spent more time at this post than at any other Army facility. By: Robert F. Bluthardt Site Manager, Fort Concho NHL Over its twenty-two years of active service (1867-1889), Fort Concho saw several dozen commanders, a few hundred officers, and several thousand soldiers and civilians assigned to the post, but no commander and no family had more influence and longer lasting effect on the place that Colonel Benjamin Grierson, his wife Alice, and their five children. Indeed, Colonel Grierson commanded Fort Concho longer than any other officer, covering the years of 1875 through 1882, when he and the 10th Cavalry moved west to Fort Davis. The Griersons could rightfully be called "the first family of Fort Concho." Fort Concho acquired a large collection of letters from the Grierson family that provide a wonderful portrait of daily life, its challenges, joys, and all too common sorrows that marked life at a western frontier outpost. Alice was a frequent letter writer and even on scarce paper she crammed endless details of life on post as she kept her older children briefed as they were living away from Fort Concho. These letters offer both a visual and verbal connection to this site and our community's earliest days. To begin with Ben and Alice, they both spent their earliest years in Youngstown, Ohio. Ben was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1826, but his family moved to Ohio when he was young, and Alice Kirk was born in 1828 in Youngstown.

  • Elijah Cox Elijah Cox Was Born in Mackinaw, Michigan on September
    Elijah Cox Elijah Cox was born in Mackinaw, Michigan on September 25, 1842. His parents were slaves in Mississippi who escaped to the north before Cox was born. His military service began during the Civil War as the personal servant to Captain George Madison of the 6th Illinois Cavalry. After the war, Cox returned to Michigan and became an apprentice carpenter. He disliked carpentry so much that he signed on as a sailor on a ship on the Great Lakes. In 1870, Cox decided it was time for another career change and rejoined the Army. On July 1, 1870, Elijah Cox enlisted in Detroit, Michigan and was placed in Company S of the 25th Infantry Regiment. He was five feet and two inches tall and listed his previous occupation as a musician. Cox spent almost a year in the Army, and was wounded during an engagement with a band of Indians between Forts Davis and Quitman. He was discharged by Special Order on June 30, 1871, at Fort Bliss, Texas. Cox never served at Fort Concho, but after his discharge he made San Angelo his home. Elijah Cox was better known as "Old Cox," working as a cook, carpenter, buffalo hunter, musician, bartender, and entertainer. He had natural musical talent and played the fiddle and guitar. He had his frrst music lesson while listening to a cowboy being taught to play the guitar. Cox learned to play the guitar better than the cowboy who was so frustrated that he gave the guitar to Cox. Cox soon moved on to the fiddle and for many years played at different dance halls and saloons throughout the area.

Doctor of Philosophy (History), May, 1995, 284 pp., 14 figures, reference list, 116 titles. This dissertation describes the various military outposts on the Texas frontier between 1866 and 1886. It is arranged geographically, with each chapter covering a major fort or geographical area and the smaller posts associated with it. Official military records and government reports serve as the primary sources of data. In 1866 when the United States Army returned to the defense of Texas after four years of civil war, the state's frontier lay open to depredations from several Indian tribes and from lawless elements in Mexico. The army responded to those attacks by establishing several lines of major forts to protect the various danger areas of the frontier.
