Camp Drum

Camp Drum refers to two US military facilities:

  • A Civil War era military encampment active from 1862–1873 near Los Angeles; see Drum Barracks. The Drum Barracks Civil War Museum presently occupies part of the original camp.
  • The present Fort Drum near Watertown, New York, which was named Camp Drum from 1951–1973.

Famous quotes containing the words camp and/or drum:

    “Rosalynn said, “Jimmy, if we could only get Prime Minister Begin and President Sadat up here on this mountain for a few days, I believe they might consider how they could prevent another war between their countries.” That gave me the idea, and a few weeks later, I invited both men to join me for a series of private talks. In September 1978, they both came to Camp David.”
    —Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)

    “Only the drum is confident, it thinks the world has not changed;”
    —Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)
