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:

    Grandfather, you were the pillar of fire in front of the camp and now we are left in the camp alone, in the dark; and we are so cold and so sad.
    Noa Ben-Artzi Philosof (b. 1978)

    It shall be said that gods are stone.
    Shall a dropped stone drum on the ground,
    Flung gravel chime? Let the stones speak
    With tongues that talk all tongues.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
