    Historic Gathering of Officers at Fort Sam Houston, 1911

    $19.95

    This historical photograph features three prominent military officers at Fort Sam Houston in Texas, taken between 1911 and 1912. The officers are General William H. Carter, Colonel Ladd, and Colonel Daniel E. McCarthy, each of whom held significant roles in the U.S. Army during a period of transformation leading up to World War I. Fort Sam Houston is one of the oldest military installations in the United States, established in 1876, and has played a crucial role in the training and deployment of soldiers.

    General Carter served as the commander of the 2nd Division, which was noted for its involvement in various military operations and training exercises during this era. Colonel Ladd, known for his work with the Infantry, and Colonel McCarthy, associated with the Cavalry, both contributed to the evolving strategies and technologies of the U.S. Army. This photograph captures a moment in time when military leadership was adapting to new challenges, such as modern warfare techniques and the advent of mechanized units, which would come to define the conflict of the early 20th century.

    The image not only depicts these military leaders but also serves as a snapshot of the U.S. Armys organizational structure during a pivotal moment in history. As the nation prepared for its expanding role on the world stage, the men in this photograph exemplified the dedication and leadership of military professionals tasked with ensuring national security. Their legacy would ultimately help shape the military as it navigated the complexities of a world increasingly on the brink of war.
