New York Times 100 years ago today, March 2, 1913:
Galveston, March 1.— Seven regiments of infantry and a regiment of artillery, 10,000 fighting men and all, are encamped tonight, half at Fort Crockett, the remainder on the mainland at Texas City, as a step in the Army maneuvers decided upon when the revolutionary situation in Mexico became acute. The Fifth Brigade, commanded by Brig. Gen. Frederick A. Smith, is stationed at Fort Crockett, the last battalion of the four regiments arriving today. The three regiments and the Fourth Field Artillery at Texas City will be augmented tomorrow by the arrival of the three additional regiments and the Sixth Cavalry.
