In 1886 , then - Second Lieutenant John Pershing arrived at Fort Bayard and oversaw the installation of a heliograph , linking the fort to an Army communications network from Arizona to Texas . Fort Bayard was one of many installations throughout the Southwest that was garrisoned by the so - called Buffalo Soldiers .
