It is an abandoned army post on the United States-Mexican border in Naco, AZ. The fort was built in 1915 to protect American citizens and enforce U.S. neutrality laws during Mexico's constant revolutionary fighting in the early 20th century. The fort stands as one of the final places where Buffalo Soldiers, cavalry units of African American soldiers, were stationed.Video Length00:17:07Date Original1990-07Date Range1910s (1910-1919)1920s (1920-1929)1930s (1930-1939)1940s (1940-1949)1950s (1950-1959)TypeMoving ImageOriginal FormatVHSLanguageEnglishContributing InstitutionCochise College LibraryCollectionCochise County Historical & Archeological CollectionRights StatementCopyright to this resource is held by Visionquest and is provided here for educational purposes only.
