"The Dragoons at Jefferson Barracks" will be the theme of the third in a series of eight 90-minute programs held in South County parks, sponsered by the St. Louis Couty Department of Parks and Recreation.
Two original captions, from two different publication dates. One is from 1943, when the image was taken, and the other is from a commemoration of Jefferson Barracks in 1976. "This long black touring car carried President Roosevelt, Governor Donnell, General Martin and Colonel Parker G. Tenney, post commander, from the Jefferson Barracks railroad station to the parade grounds, where the massed thousands of troops were ranked, ready for the review. Colonel Tenney, who stepped down from the car as his men began the long parade past their Commander-In-Chief, is shown above left, with the President, General Martin and the governor (hidden by General Martin) seated in the tonneau." "9-Day Commemoration of Barracks' History: The drums and cannons are muted, fields where troops trained for war are fallow - a historic place that once served as an Army home for Robert E. Lee, Ulysses S. Grant, William Tecumseh Sherman, and Jefferson Davis. The old garrison, carved from the wilderness 150 years ago, is Jefferson Barracks - (cut off) - July 8, 1826, when 1,700 acres of frontier land were ceded to the government by the town of Vide Poche, later to be called Carondelet, for the site of the post."
