Passing in Review (Fort Riley)

A 7th Cavalry troop salutes the review stand as they march from the cavalry parade ground.  Fort Riley was established in 1853.  As a central military stronghold, it served an important role through the Civil War, Indian Wars, and the Settlement of the West.  It escaped the gradual demise of most western forts and evolved with a changing army into the 20th century.  Fort Riley exists today as one of the two active posts in Kansas.
