In the spring of 1940, the War Plans Division of the Army General Staff developed a plan to raise a national army of four million men that would allow it to conduct simultaneous operations in both the Pacific and Europe theaters. In July 1940, a movement began to locate an area of approximately 60,000 acres (240km2), independent of any post, and lying somewhere between the Potomac River and the upper Chesapeake Bay.
Lieutenant Colonel Oliver Marston, an artillery officer stationed in Richmond, Virginia and acting as an agent of the Third Corps Area commander, made a detailed investigation of the Bowling Green, Virginia area in September 1940. He enthusiastically recommended that the War Department procure the Caroline County site. The result was a maneuver area that contained 77,332 acres (312.95km2) and billeting space for 74 officers and 858 enlisted personnel.

Wealthy in Heart: Oral History of Life Before Fort A.P. Hill (Now Fort Walker)
Many people see history in a large big-picture sense: It's only significant if the world or the country has undergone change. To an anthropologist - one who studies people and their culture - significance lies not necessarily in the big-picture, but in understanding the everyday lives of people. This oral history is especially significant because it focuses on a lost world. The way of life in Caroline County in 1930 is truly known to only a few, and we are all fortunate to be enriched by their contribution. This book is dedicated to all the people who gave their time to open their hearts and share their memories and thoughts so this history could be told. Their thoughts and their memories will live on as historical record. NOTE: The video is not completely silent. Some background music has...
