Montana
A view from 1939:
Fort Harrison (open daily 9-7), (4,006 alt.), abandoned
in 1910, but reopened as a training camp for Montana troops
during the World War. The earthquakes of 1935-37 seriously
damaged 10 of the 41 brick buildings. About 20 of those remaining
are used by the National Guard, the rest belong to the Veterans
Administration Facility. The main building has been made earthquake-resistant.
