Camp Abbot
Camp Abbot was a United States Army training center located south of Bend, Oregon, United States. The center was used to train combat engineers during World War II. A large part of site has now been developed as Sunriver Resort. The rest has been incorporated into the Deschutes National Forest. The only remaining structure from Camp Abbot is the officers mess hall. Today, it is part of Sunriver Resort. It is known as the ''Great Hall'', and is used for large conferences and special events.
== Site history ==
In 1855, Secretary of War Jefferson Davis dispatched an Army Corps of Topographical Engineers survey party to look for a railroad route from the Sacramento Valley in California to the Columbia River in the Oregon Territory. This required the party to survey the Deschutes River area in central Oregon. The survey party was led by two Lieutenants, Robert Stockton Williamson and Henry Larcom Abbot.〔Abbot, Charles Greeley, (''Biographical Memoir of Henry Larcom Abbot'' ), National Academy of Sciences, Washington, D.C., 1929.〕〔Jette, Melinda, ("Mount Jefferson and Black Butte" ), Oregon History Project, Oregon Historical Society, 2003.〕
The Williamson-Abbot survey party included a geologist-botanist, a physician-naturalist, several assistant engineers, a computation specialist, a pack master, and eighteen mule packers. At Fort Reading, a military escort of eighty infantrymen and twenty cavalry troopers joined the party. The escort was commanded by Lieutenant H. G. Gibson with Lieutenants George Crook and Philip H. Sheridan leading elements of the detachment.〔〔
While in central Oregon, illness forced Lieutenant Williamson to return to California. This left Lieutenant Abbot in charge of the expedition. On 4 September 1855, Abbot and a detachment of the survey party camped at a site along the Deschutes River that would become Camp Abbot. Abbot completed the survey of central Oregon, crossed the Cascade Mountains into the Willamette Valley, and then returned to Fort Reading, arriving in mid-November 1855. In 1857, the Army published Abbot's thorough 499 page report under the title ''Report of Lieut. Henry L. Abbot Upon Explorations for a Railroad Route from Sacramento Valley to the Columbia River''.〔〔〔McArthur, Lewis A. and Lewis L.
