Camp Myers was named in honor
of Calvin Myers who was a veteran of the Mexican War and was commissioned
to the rank of captain in the Civil War. It was a camp of instruction, where
the 25th and 28th along with other units trained for battle. This site would
be the first stop after leaving the recruiting or gathering site of Camp
Zollicoffer.
Here solders would drill and train in the manual of arms, regimental drill
and in parade.
