One of Ft. Sam Houston's best-known sites is the old Quadrangle, distinguished by its brick clocktower. Construction of the Quadrangle began in 1876 to house the Quartermaster Depot then occupying the Alamo. From the Quadrangle the Army controlled both troop movement and distribution of supplies during the Indian Wars. In 1886, the warrior Geronimo and 32 other Apaches were confined in the Quadrangle for 40 days. Legend has it that the animals (including white-tail deer, peafowl, ducks, geese, quineas, chickens, rabbits and squirrels) that now live within the Quadrangle are descendants of animals brought in for Geronimo. The animals, which will approach people, always delight visitors. Thanks to Carol for insisting we go there.
