Camp George H. Thomas served as a brief stop for Gen. Wheeler in route from Washington, DC to Tampa, FL.  The recently established (Sept, 1895) National Military Park at Chickamauga, GA, site of an 1863 Civil War battle, was chosen as a concentration point for both regular Army and volunteer units for the Spanish-American War effort.  This illustration is a period map showing the camp layout, including regimental locations.  (circa 1898)
