Sixth Stop: Camp Reynolds


Camp Reynolds (aka West Garrison)

Use During Civil War Era:
With much concern building over threats to the Bay Area from Confederate sympathizers and naval forces, the federal government established Camp Reynolds on Angel Island in 1863. Artillery batteries were built near the camp and at Point Stuart, Point Knox, and Point Blunt.

Post Civil War:
After the Civil War, Camp Reynolds became an infantry camp, serving as a depot for recruits, and as a staging area for troops serving in campaigns against the Apache, Sioux, Modoc, and other Indian tribes. By 1876, this was a busy camp with over 200 soldiers and a complete military camps or posts including a church, bakery, blacksmith, shoemaker, laundry, barber, trading store, and photographer.
