Re: United States forts named after Confederates?

Actually I have a few more active establishmentys which are named for Confederates:
Camp Maxey, near Paris, Texas, a Texas National Guard
Training Center, named for BGEN Samuel B. Maxey;

Camp Beauregard, near Pineville, Louisiana, named for GEN Beauregard; a Louisiana National Guard Training Center; someone mentioned it a couple of years ago but indicated it was closed. I understand that it is still used by the Guard for training.

Camp Joseph T. Robinson, just out of Little Rock, and used by the Gaurd, was formerly known as Camp Pike, named, I believe, for GEN Albert Pike.

Camp Wheeler, near Macon, Ga., was a WW II camp, has been closed for some years, but the Federal government is still spending money to dispose of unexploded ordnance. It is named for GEN Joseph Wheeler.

The Air Force's Arnold Engineering Center near Manchester, Tenn., was formerly an army training base in WW II, named Camp Forrest for Nathan Bedford Forrest.
