Dang. You just have to wonder what would have become of Galveston and Waco had they not been destroyed by Mother Nature. Some said Galveston was the wealthiest city in the US, perhaps rivaling Philadelphia, at the turn of the 20th century. Old Waco was a bustling downtown. Baylor moved there, of course, from Independence because it was thought it would not only be geographically more central in Texas but that Waco would grow to be Texas' largest city.

Billy the Kid born John William Guillot in Waco, Texas in 1936. Billy started his career in the 1950s, where he established himself as a wrestling 'bad guy'
He shot a distant cousin of mine, Robert Ameridith Olinger. Actually, that was the real Billy the Kid. Was this guy really short?

Established in 1917 as one of sixteen National Army Camps in preparation for U.S. involvement in World War I. The Camp occupied 18,290 acres, with 5,730 acres adjacent to Fort Sam Houston. The site was selected on 15 Jul 1917 and by 25 Aug 1917 it was ready for the troops and by October 1917 there were 31,000 troops from the 90th U.S. Infantry Division at the camp. After the war ended Camp Travis became a demobilization center and discharged some 62,500 troops over a period of 8 months. The Camp became a part of Fort Sam Houston in 1922.

Going from ground zero to being ready for 31000 troops in a few weeks is pretty impressive.
