Características

As the 103rd anniversary of Houstons Mutiny and Riot of 1917 approaches, this book, Camp Logan, provides a unique presentation of the events that occurred on August 23, 1917. The Houston Mutiny and Riot of 1917, marks one of Houstons darkest hours in race relations. On August 23,1917, Acting First Sergeant Vida Henry led 156 armed soldiers toward Houstons jail on Capital and Bagby Streets by way of Brunner Avenue continuing along San Felipe Street. Camp Logan takes an in depth look at the cause and events leading up to the Mutiny and Riot of 1917. It contains a review of Sergeant Henrys death, identification of the victims and convicted soldiers by name, rank, and conviction outcomes. The book also contains a visual footprint of the 1917 Riot route. The content of the book is based on information retrieved from over 290 government documents pertaining to the three court martials and convictions of 117 African American soldiers assigned to Camp Logan, Texas for seven-weeks to guard the construction site of the new military training facility in 1917.
