Fort Meade, Dakota Territory, 1867: Company C, 3rd U.S. Infantry, caught on the fly, as they go about their daily duties. The Officers Line at Fort Meade, a hub of military activity, with Bear Butte, a distinctive landmark, just 3 miles distant. John C. H. Grabill, an American photographer, captured this moment in time. Nearby, the Army Missile Defense System was being developed, while back at the fort, a cattle round-up was underway. A snapshot of life at Fort Meade during an era of transformation and growth.
