This excellent report has been professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction. This study reports on a preliminary effort to identify, evaluate, and document the historically significant roles Fort Bliss, Texas, has played in the history of the Southwest and the nation. Fort Bliss's 1890 to 1940 history can be divided into several significant periods; a chapter is devoted to each period. At the end of each chapter, a section is devoted to historically important questions relating to that chapter's subject matter. The bibliographic essays that follow each chapter review both the published secondary sources on Fort Bliss history and the primary manuscript sources that merit further analysis.In the 50 years between the post's relocation at its present site and World War II, Fort Bliss gained regional and national significance. Fort Bliss became a great horse cavalry post and the most important U.S. military installation on the border. The army's horse cavalry era ended with the removal of the 1st Cavalry Division from Fort Bliss in 1943. Fort Bliss was the nation's last military base with a strategic mission as a horse cavalry post.Fort Bliss's rise to prominence is intertwined with a series of historical events. Chapter I relates the first of these, the ending of the Indian wars in the late 1880s. Because fewer troops were needed in the country's interior, military forces could be moved to border garrisons. The first crucial decision in the history of modern Fort Bliss dates to this important shift in the army's strategic mission. Fort Selden, New Mexico, then rivaled Fort Bliss as a candidate for the region's most important post. However, impressed by Fort Bliss's strategic border location and its proximity to El Paso's railroads, the military decided to expand Fort Bliss in 1890. Crowded by railroad construction at Hart's Mill, the fort was moved to La Noria Mesa, its present location. The final appearance of the original post on La Noria Mesa largely was the work of the Quartermaster Officer Captain George Ruhlen. The first buildings were completed in 1893. They were first garrisoned in October, 1893; the rest of the decade passed quietly at the fort.EXECUTIVE SUMMARY * PREFACE * FOREWORD * CHAPTER I - The Formative Years of New Fort Bliss (1890-1898) * Introduction * Fort Bliss 1890-1898 * Conclusion * Essay on Sources for Chapter I * CHAPTER II - Fort Bliss and the Spanish-American War Period (1898-1902) * Introduction * Fort Bliss 1898-1902 * Conclusion * Essay on Sources for Chapter II * CHAPTER III - Fort Bliss and the Early New Army Period (1902-1910) * Introduction * Fort Bliss 1902-1910 * Conclusion * Essay on Sources for Chapter III * CHAPTER IV - Fort Bliss and the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920) * Introduction * Fort Bliss 1910-1920 * Conclusion * Essay on Sources for Chapter IV * CHAPTER V - Fort Bliss and World War I (1917-1919) * Introduction * Fort Bliss 1917-1919 * Conclusion * Essay on Sources for Chapter V * CHAPTER VI - Creation of a Permanent Cavalry Post (1916-1920) * Introduction * Fort Bliss 1916-1920 * Conclusion * Essay on Sources for Chapter VI * CHAPTER VII - Fort Bliss in the 1920s * Introduction * Fort Bliss 1920-1929 * Conclusion * Essay on Sources for Chapter VII * CHAPTER VIII - Fort Bliss in the 1930s * Introduction * Fort Bliss 1930-1939 * Conclusion * Essay on Sources for Chapter VIII * APPENDIX * Fort Bliss in World War II and the Early Cold War Period * Fort Bliss in World War II * Introduction * Fort Bliss in World War II * Summary * Fort Bliss in the Early Cold War Period * Introduction * Fort Bliss in the Early Cold War Period * Summary * Conclusion * Essay on Sources for the Appendix

Henry Martyn Lazelle (1832-1917), born in Enfield, Massachusetts, the son of a farmer, orphaned at the age of four, and raised by a succession of relatives and family friends, was the only cadet in the history of the U.S. Military Academy to be suspended and sent back a year (for poor grades and bad behavior) and eventually return as Commandant of the Corps of Cadets. After graduating from West Point in 1855, he scouted with Kit Carson, was wounded by Apaches, and spent nearly a year as a "paroled" prisoner-of-war at the outbreak of the Civil War. Exchanged for a Confederate officer, he took command of a Union cavalry regiment, chasing Mosby's Rangers throughout northern Virginia. The early days of Reconstruction brought him to the Carolinas. Later he represented the U.S. at British Army maneuvers in India and commanded units and posts in the Far West and the Dakotas during the relocation and ravaging of the American Indian nations. Due in part to an ingrained disposition to question the status quo, Lazelle's service as a commander and senior staff officer was punctuated at times with contention and controversy. In charge of the official records of the Civil War in Washington, he was accused of falsifying records, exonerated, but dismissed short of tour. As Commandant of Cadets at West Point, he was a key figure during the infamous court martial of Johnson Whittaker, one of West Point's first African American cadets. Again, he was relieved of duty after a bureaucratic battle with the Academy’s Superintendent. Lazelle retired in 1894 as Colonel of the 18th U.S. Infantry at Fort Bliss, Texas, where his Army career had begun 38 years earlier. Along the way, he authored articles on military strategy and tactics, took up spiritualism, and published two books on the relationship between science and theology.
