Notes
  • Significance: Founded in 1827, Fort Leavenworth is one of the oldest Army posts in the American West. During the mid nineteenth century the post protected travelers on the Santa Fe Trail and supplied all military posts further to the west. The post served as headquarters for numerous military campaigns including the Mexican War and Indian Wars, and policing actions in the slave/free state conflicts of the 1850's. After 1870 Fort Leavenworth increased in size and importance as headquarters for the Army's Department of the Missouri and the new School of Application for Infantry and Cavalry. Following the Spanish-American War, and throughout the twentieth century, officer education became the post's primary mission.
