Camp Reynolds
In 1863, Civil War was raging in the East and the threat of Confederate ships sailing into San Francisco Bay was real. The United States Army responded by sending Company B of the 3rd Artillery to establish Camp Reynolds as an artillery post on Angel Island. Nineteen cannons were placed on the island's west side supplementing the defense provided by Fort Point and Fortress Alcatraz.HM Number | HM1B8G |
