Fort Huachuca Army Brat

The old Tumbleweed Forts book blog is disappearing into history, but all those memories are reappearing immediately here on WordPress. This web page or blog remains dedicated to the countless Army brats who lived in Fort Huachuca, Arizona, at one time or another.

If you’re the son or daughter of a soldier who was stationed at Fort Huachuca at any time since World War II, check out what this page has to offer and give us an account of your most vivid memories of the old post.

My three brothers and I lived in Fort Huachuca from 1960 to 1963, when my father, a master sergeant, was testing the Army’s early drones over the fort’s West Range. At Huachuca, we four boys enjoyed the desert, the canyon, the exploring we did, and the friendships we made.

Many of our stories are in the book, Tumbleweed Forts: Adventures of an Army Brat, and in the Huachuca Books series: “Ride West to Fort Huachuca,” “Water Rescue at the Desert Oasis,” “Huachuca Drones into the Atomic Cloud,” “The New Girl Chases Dust Devils,” and “The Big Dig for Canyon Gold.”
