Camp Grierson Memorial -- Big Lake TX - American Guide Series on Waymarking.com

Blasterz learned from the WPA guide what a particular fragment at the Reagan County Courthouse in downtown Big Lake is :)

From Texas: A Guide to the Lone Star State:

"BIG LAKE, 71 m. (2,678 alt., 832 pop.), was so named because of the extent to which the natural sink near by fills during heavy rains. The University of Texas reaps a large income from the production of deep oil wells in this vicinity. On the courthouse square is CAMP GRIERSON MEMORIAL, in the form of a huge stone taken from the ruins of a frontier army post ten miles southeast of Big Lake. The stone bears the simple inscription, "Co. E, Tenth Cav., USA. November, 1879."
