| THE CHILDREN WHO LIVED AT FORT
STANTON between the early days of the 20th century and 1953 enjoyed
a unique way of life, with 27,000 acres of ranchland and a sparkling
river as our playground, merchant seamen from all over the globe
from whom to learn about the outside world, horses to ride and
parents who gave us freedom to roam. Claire Boyd Fluharty and
Danna Kusianovich Henderson gathered their stories of a way of life
long past, and Lynda A. Sanchez and James McBride have preserved
those stories in three wonderful books that we invite you to read.
Jim McBride has documented the history of the German internment camp
that occupied a portion of Fort Stanton during World War II in a
fourth book, while Lynda Sanchez's book documents Fort Stanton's
history from prehistoric days to the present and features
contemporary photography by David Tremblay. The Fort Stanton Kids also have strived to correct some myths and misinformation that have entered the Fort Stanton folklore over the past 50 or 60 years, and you can read about some of these "Facts and Fiction" on the Historic Photos page.
