60th F.A. BRIGADE CAMP WHITSIDE. FT. RILEY 1928. An evocative bird's-eye panoramic view of the 60th Field Artillery Brigade at Camp Whitside (or Whiteside) at Fort Riley, Kansas between the world wars, in 1928. The image shows the breadth of the unit's encampment, with hundreds of tents and dozens of wood-shingled barracks, among other buildings. A few vehicles dot the landscape, and a railroad stretches horizontally behind the camp. Sparse settlements beyond Fort Riley can be seen in the distance. The image was taken by O.W. Holt, a noted Kansas photographer based in Manhattan. Holt produced similar panoramas for Fort Riley during this period, along with panoramas of various subjects at other locations in Kansas, namely his home base of Manhattan, Camp Funston, Lawrence, and Pawnee.
