Tuesday, March 7, 1911. Taft deploys troops to the border.

Today In Wyoming's History: March 7: 1911 The U.S. deploys 20,000 troops to the Mexican border due to the Mexican Revolution.

Expanding on that at 11:00 a.m. the Department of War issued a statement that "a large number of troops" was being moved to points in Texas and southern California, and that the Department of the Navy had ordered 15 ships from the Atlantic Fleet to the Texas coast, including four armored cruisers. 2,000 Marines were ordered to assemble at Guantanamo Bay. 

The Army had been secretly dispatched the prior day.  The Army commitment was 1/4 of the total Army. 

The event was somewhat camouflaged as it its real purpose.


An elk farm, which is illegal in Wyoming, was being established in Colorado.  It's just such an entity that's responsible for Chronic Wasting Disease.
