unusual facts about Grierson Spring, TX



Grierson Spring, TX

The subpost, consisting of a number of limestone buildings and corrals, was built, occupied, and maintained by detachments of Buffalo soldiers from the 16th, 24th, and 25th Infantry and the 10th Cavalry from the time of its construction in 1878 until its abandonment in September 1882; however, before being closed, the subpost, telegraph line, and supply road contributed materially to the US Army's 1879–1880 campaign against the Apache warrior, Victorio, and his followers.
