Description: |
Fort Benjamin Harrison was established as a training center for the Indiana National Guard in June of 1904 in Lawrence Township, Marion County. In September 1910 the National Guard and the regular army participated in biennial joint maneuvers there. Under the command of General Charles L. Hodges fifteen thousand militia troops from Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia participated in the training that month. This group may be from that training session at the fort. The original nitrate negative was copied with funds provided by a grant from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission in 1990. This digital image was created from that copy. The copy prints and negatives are stored in Microfiche Number order. Interpositives are stored in PAN number order. |
