"Old Fort Garland" by James T. Forrest and Rosamund Slack is a historical account likely written in the mid-20th century. The book presents a fictional soldier's journal that chronicles life at Fort Garland, Colorado, from 1860 to 1883. It combines factual history with narrative flair, providing readers with insights into military life on the frontier and the events surrounding the American West during a tumultuous period. The narrative details the experiences of an imaginary soldier, Corporal O'Connor, as he navigates life at the fort amid conflicts with Native American tribes, changes in military command, and Civil War developments. O'Connor describes the daily routines of garrison life, including the struggles of subsisting in a harsh environment, interactions with local Indigenous populations, and the evolution of the fort from its establishment to its eventual abandonment. The book paints a vivid picture of the social dynamics and hardships faced by soldiers stationed on the frontier, along with the geopolitical context of their military service, ending with a reflection on the fort's closure and the changes in the surrounding area.
