Description: Original 1919 panorama photo of “Camp Stanley, Texas, Jan. 1919,” by J. C. Murff, showing barracks, roads, and other buildings. A sign on one of the long buildings just right of center indicates the following, “1st Troop Cav., O.T.C., 7th Regiment, Texas Cavalry.” Panorama photo is approximately 8 x 40”. Online history: In 1906-07, an area of about 17,000 acres near Leon Springs, just north of San Antonio, was acquired by the military as a training ground and firing range. In 1917, the area was named Camp Funston in honor of Maj. Gen. Frederick Funston; when it was determined that a camp in Kansas was already named Camp Funston, the San Antonio camp was re-named Camp Stanley, for Brig. Gen. David S. Stanley, a Medal of Honor recipient during the Civil War and a former Commander of the Department of Texas. The camp was used as a training ground during World War I and hosted the First Officers’ Training Camp and later the 57th Infantry Regiment, which included then Lt. Dwight D. Eisenhower. In 1917, an additional 16,000 acres were leased, and a new camp was established called Camp Bullis. Together, Camp Stanley and Camp Bullis became the Leon Springs Military Reservation.
