Depression Era
Following the Great World War, Fort DuPont transitioned as a quartermaster depot, and engineer post with the arrival of the First Engineers in May 1922. During this time, only Battery E, 7th Coast Artillery manned remaining artillery guns at Fort DuPont. On December 12, 1932, six sets of officer quarters were floated from Fort Mott in Pennsville, N.J. One set of quarters was floated over the year prior. From 1934 until 1936, Fort DuPont and the 1st Engineer Regiment were commanded by Col. Ulysses S. Grant III, the grandson of President Ulysses S. Grant.

Famous quotes containing the words depression and/or era:
“Mental health data from the 1950’s on middle-aged women showed them to be a particularly distressed group, vulnerable to depression and feelings of uselessness. This isn’t surprising. If society tells you that your main role is to be attractive to men and you are getting crow’s feet, and to be a mother to children and yours are leaving home, no wonder you are distressed.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
“The purest lesson our era has taught is that man, at his highest, is an individual, single, isolate, alone, in direct soul-communication with the unknown God, which prompts within him.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
