(Author's note: This is a brief history of Fort Garland, Colorado, as it might have been told by a soldier present during most of the fort's active years. The soldier and his journal never existed, but the facts contained in the journal are basically true. The information in this story is a product of research through most of the available documents concerning Fort Garland. In places, fiction has been introduced to give the journal color, but all important events or facts occurred as described.) J.T.F.
