# Talk:Fort McKavett State Historic Site

According to Robert E. Howard (of Conan fame) this Fort's greatest enemy wasn't the Commanche but the locals:

http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/July_1933%2C_to_H._P._Lovecraft
Note these letters were written to two other famous authors of the day August Derleth and H.P. Lovecraft. Howard gives local color to the stories and realize these letters were only 40 years or so after the fact.

"Texas was annexed by the United States of America in 1845" - briefly mention Texian independence from Mexico, so it's clearer that it don't go straight from Mexican to US control?
 Done –♠Vami_IV†♠ 01:21, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
Infobox says built 1846, but this doesn't seem to be what the article content says at all?
Axed. –♠Vami_IV†♠ 01:21, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
"General David E. Twiggs" - Twiggs was technically a Brig. Gen (brevet Maj. Gen) at this point in time
I'll call him a "Brevet Major General". –♠Vami_IV†♠ 01:21, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
"Confederate forces were unable to defend Texas" - Against whom?  I assume the Native Americans, as the Union didn't really do much in Texas beyond the Gulf Coast
Yup, indeed. Addressed. –♠Vami_IV†♠ 01:21, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
" Brevet Major General Ranald S. Mackenzie,[37] arrived at Fort McKavett with F and" - don't need the comma, I don't think
 Removed –♠Vami_IV†♠ 01:21, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
"with policing during Reconstruction" - link Reconstruction
 Added –♠Vami_IV†♠ 01:21, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
I don't think the marker image needs to be used twice.  Maybe File:Fort McKavett HQ.jpg instead?
Oops, I forgot to remove it from the gallery. –♠Vami_IV†♠ 01:21, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
Maybe File:Fort McKavett Commander's house.jpg instead of the other ruins picture?  It gives a somewhat better angle/scale
Used to replace the gallery along with the above suggested image. –♠Vami_IV†♠ 01:21, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
140 acres in the infobox doesn't seem to be anywhere else
Oops. –♠Vami_IV†♠ 01:21, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
May 17, 1968 date from the infobox doesn't seem to be cited anywhere
Weird that I didn't notice this earlier. –♠Vami_IV†♠ 01:21, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
Looks good, that's all from me. Hog Farm  Talk 22:31, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
