With the success of the summer maneuvers at Camp Hughes, a permanent training area formally known as Pine Camp was founded in NY State. Legislation was passed in 1909, which established the \"Pine Camp Military Reservation.\" Land acquisition and temporary building construction began in 1910. Pine Camp was essentially a temporary, seasonal tent encampment established every summer north of the Black River. In 1935, Pine Camp hosted the largest peacetime maneuvers held to that date. At that time, 36,000 Regular and National Guardsmen from the First U.S. Army conducted division-sized field maneuvers. As the U.S. Army began serious preparations for World War II, great improvements were made in these field maneuvers. Huckleberry Charlie as he was called,sold pins, needles, and other useful household items to those in the camp. He often picked and sold berries, which is where he got the nickname Huckleberry. He was part entrepreneur, part showman and a local celebrity!
