Forts Names Changed

Known for 62 years as Fort D.A. Russell, the military reservation at Cheyenne today officially changed its name to Fort Francis E. Warren in compliance with the presidential order issued December 6^th, 1929. The name of the post was changed by the War Department as a suggestion by President Hoover as a tribute to the late Senator Warren of Wyoming. At the same time Camp Marfa at Marfa, Texas, changed its name to Fort D.A. Russell.
