A portion of Fort Davis National Historic Site in the Texas town of Fort Davis.

Located within the Davis Mountains of West Texas, the historic site was established in 1961 to protect one of the best remaining examples of a United States Army fort in the southwestern United States. Established in October 1854 along the Limpia Creek at Painted Comanche Camp by Bvt. Maj. Gen. Persifor Frazer Smith, Fort Davis was named after Secretary of War Jefferson Davis. Hoping to protect the garrison from severe winter storms, Smith tucked the fort into a canyon flanked on three sides by sheer rock walls. Original image from Carol M.
