- Fort Buchanan, Arizona, is a former United States Army base in Arizona to control land purchased in the Gadsden Purchase
- Fort Buchanan, Puerto Rico is the only active U.S. Army installation in the Caribbean, home of the 65th regional readiness command (not to be confused with the 65th infantry regiment which has its headquarters at Cayey Puerto Rico)
Famous quotes containing the words fort and/or buchanan:
“So here they are, the dog-faced soldiers, the regulars, the fifty-cents-a-day professionals riding the outposts of the nation, from Fort Reno to Fort Apache, from Sheridan to Stark. They were all the same. Men in dirty-shirt blue and only a cold page in the history books to mark their passing. But wherever they rode and whatever they fought for, that place became the United States.”
—Frank S. Nugent (1908–1965)
“The Anglo-American can indeed cut down, and grub up all this waving forest, and make a stump speech, and vote for Buchanan on its ruins, but he cannot converse with the spirit of the tree he fells, he cannot read the poetry and mythology which retire as he advances. He ignorantly erases mythological tablets in order to print his handbills and town-meeting warrants on them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
