Camp Logan

Some chunks of concrete, many building foundations, and extensive trenches used for training or middens still remain in the heavily forested park.

Camp Logan also developed further notorious attention among the residents of Houston the following year as the focal point of the first widespread local outbreak of the 1918 flu pandemic.

By October 3 doctors reported 48 soldiers from the camp had died from the flu and it had begun to rapidly spread through the city.

By October 9 the local newspapers reported that 33 flu-related deaths had now occurred in the city and that the Mayor, District Clerk, and 20 police officers had contracted.

Public schools, restaurants, and gatherings were shut down including the Barnum & Bailey Circus and local churches.
