From the black-and-white photo of horse-drawn wagons rolling down Mapes Road to the fisheye image of cyber warfare specialists encircled by computers, telephones and cables, “Fort George G. Meade: The First 100 Years” provides a vivid, detailed and deeply personal history of an installation that has safeguarded the country since World War I.
For more than two years, staff from the Fort Meade Museum and the Garrison’s Public Affairs Office coordinated the production of the book.
“It was a labor of love to celebrate Fort Meade’s centennial in 2017,” said Mary Doyle, principle editor.
Packed with historical essays by 30 contributors, personal memories, postcards, news articles and a wealth of historic photographs, the book outlines Fort Meade’s journey “From Saddles to Cyberspace in a Century of Innovation and Security.”
It is available as a free PDF download at ftmeade.army.mil. However, readers can also purchase a glossy, hardcover version of the book online thanks to a partnership with the Fort Meade Alliance (FMA).
