Further south, still moving clockwise, are two rooms consisting of an office and a kitchen of 120 square feet each. Little interior architectural detail articulates the sparse utilitarian armory style. Much of the original beaded board paneling is intact within this space, especially the beaded vertical board below the chair railing. Some of the beaded horizontal board above the chair rail has been replaced with a wider board. Both a wooden ceiling and floor are still in place. On the south end of the entry is the reception hall comprising 840 square feet and including a striking limestone fireplace that David Christian terms as "typical WPA and quite impressive". Casement windows pierce the west wall of this room. Inexpensive paneling dating form the seventies has covered the beaded board and a dropped ceiling has replaced the wooden one. Finally two bathrooms on the west wall, each 150 square feet finish off the entry space. Storage space exists inside the towers. A doorway on the eastern wall of the foyer opens into the drill hall consisting of over 6,500 unobstructed square feet that comprises the bulk of the armory (Newman, 2003). North and south walls have a row of casement windows that allow light into the dark interior. The room has a high ceiling with suspended steel truss work that weaves an impressive support system across the ceiling. At the east extremity of the armory stands an oversized metal door. Rooms on the second floor are accessed from stairs on the west end of the building. A simple handrail of wood and metal construction accompanies the staircase. When entering from the stairs one encounters a landing. Moving counterclockwise around the landing there is a doorway that leads into an office. The office

  • 1916 State Mobilization Camps
    JUNE 2015 VERSION 1916 STATE MOBILIZATION CAMPS Fred Greguras 1274 Estate Drive Los Altos, CA 94024 650.248.4558 [email protected] {00044073;3} I. INTRODUCTION The year 2014 is not the first time the U.S. has faced a crucial challenge on the Mexican border. Almost 100 years ago in 1916, President Woodrow Wilson faced a crisis along the border. The border had been a trouble spot since 1911. Regular army troops were deployed along the wide border to prevent incursions following the outbreak of revolution in Mexico in late 1910. In 1914, Wilson authorized U.S. forces to land and protect U.S. interests in Vera Cruz, Mexico. The crisis at Vera Cruz ended in November 1914 but regular army units remained on the border. Tensions reached a breaking point on March 9, 1916 when Pancho Villa raided Columbus, New Mexico. Wilson sent a punitive expedition under the command of Brigadier General John J. Pershing into Mexico to try to find and destroy Villa’s forces (the “Punitive Expedition”). On May 5, 1916 Glenn Springs, Texas was attacked. On May 8, Wilson called national guard units (the “Guard”) from Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona into federal service to help protect the border and on June 18, 1916, he ordered the mobilization of the Guard of the remaining states for the same purpose. The War Department specified which Guard units (by regiment) the federal government wanted for service on the border. By July 4, 1916, the Guard of fourteen states was on duty in camps along the border. A July 20, 1916 newspaper article reported that over 100,000 men were in camps on the border and another 58,000 men were still at state mobilization camps.
