Geocache Description:

Camp Crittenden 1867. Small tupperware container with few items and Log on back of Geocache Notice.

Camp Crittenden 1867-1873 Named for Col. Thomas L. Crittenden, who commanded the 32nd Infantry at the battles of Shiloh, Stone River, and Chickamauga during the Civil War. Located at the head of Davidson Canyon, just west of present-day Sonoita, Arizona, Camp Crittenden was built adjacent to the site of Fort Buchanan. One of the soldiers posted at Camp Crittenden, Sergeant James Brown, was awarded the Medal of Honor for successfully leading a detachment of 4 men against a superior force of Apaches. Did he feel good? I bet he did. Very little remains of this post; mostly crumbling adobe and mounds of earth that were once barracks walls. Santa Cruz County, Arizona.
