As I was looking through fb I came across an article talking about the high toxicity of Ft. McClellan if found the following information.....Through the decades of it’s existence Ft. McClellan served many purposes. At the end of the Spanish-American War, it was called Camp Shipp and the mountainous area was viewed as an ideal backdrop for an artillery range, though those hostilities ended before the site was fully utilized. In 1917, Ft. McClellan was formally established as a mobilization center for quickly training men for WWl. Found this to be ironic. I also found some photos and pics of his grave and a brief geneology. And then....here I am working at Sacred Heart School on the site of Ft. McClellan,...just found it rather interesting and odd.
