Hospital on Horizon at Fort McKavett, Texas #237756857
Description
In this photograph the Fort McKavett Hospital in west Texas is framed by a large tree in the foreground, with the hospital at the horizon. This `new` hospital was completed in 1874 and was built apart from other buildings to avoid the spread of germs. Along with the fort, it played an integral role in the history of west Texas. After General William T. Sherman visited the fort he said it was `the prettiest post in Texas.`
