Title: Fort Oglethorpe book details history of base, town Author: Andy Johns Publisher: chattanooga Times Free Press Date: 12/8/09 Parades, prisoners of war and polo matches are all highlighted in a new book about Fort Oglethorpe's history. The book, co-written by Gerry Depken and Julie Powell and released Monday, features photos and anecdotes from the Catoosa County town's history. Among the 220 photos are shots of Bing Crosby, Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin Roosevelt, all visiting troops. Both authors said the 128 pages fill an important niche in local history. "There was information on the 6th Cavalry, there's information on the Civil War, but nothing on Fort Oglethorpe," said Ms. Powell, innkeeper at the Captain's Quarters Bed and Breakfast on Barnhardt Circle. In its heyday, the fort was known as the "West Point of Medicine" with some of the U.S. Army's first M.A.S.H. units, according to Ms. Depken, chairwoman of the Fort Oglethorpe Preservation Commission. It also was one of the first bases with a female commandant, she said. "There are so many people that move in and out of Fort Oglethorpe and Catoosa County and don't even know there was a fort here," Ms. Depken said. Both women said they culled through a couple thousand photos to make the book. The research involved trips to the National Archives in College Park, Md., and plenty of interviews with area residents. The stories they heard from locals were the highlight of the research, and both women said they would do the whole process over again "in a heartbeat." "People here just opened their hearts and their albums," Ms. Powell said. Ms. Powell and Ms. Depken also asked that anyone who can identify people in the book's photos or anyone with additional information for captions to contact them to further the research. Toward the end of the book, the authors included current photos of old buildings and documented the buildings' original uses. It's all about keeping the area's history fresh on the minds of present residents. "This is what makes our town different from any other," Ms. Depken said.
Synopsis
Fort Oglethorpe, adjacent to Chickamauga Battlefield Park in northwest Georgia, was created in 1902. During national emergencies, the post expanded temporarily into the park. Cavalry troops trained at the post until 1942, and the WAACs/WACs arrived in 1943. The post was considered an elite assignment, with polo matches and dances. Dwight Eisenhower and John Pershing were stationed here. Visiting dignitaries included Sgt. Alvin York, Bing Crosby, Lana Turner, and U.S. presidents Theodore and Franklin Roosevelt. Prisoners of war and enemy aliens were confined here during both world wars. In 1946, the army declared Fort Oglethorpe surplus, and the post was decommissioned. Community leaders realized the hospital, utilities, and streets represented the core of a town, and the city of Fort Oglethorpe was incorporated in 1949. It is now an economic center in northwest Georgia.

    This was an excellent eBay transaction. The seller properly pictured and described the book. The book was carefully packaged in bubble wrap and a stiff cardboard box to ensure it was not damaged in shipping. The book arrived on time and was tracked using the USPS tracking system. Thank you!
