Camp Edwin M. Stanton (usually known as just Camp Stanton) was an American Civil War training camp that existed from 1861 to 1862 in Lynnfield, Massachusetts.[1] When the camp first opened in 1861 it was known as Camp Schouler, named for Massachusetts Adjutant General William Schouler. In some references it is misspelled as Camp Schuyler.[2] After President Abraham Lincoln's call for 300,000 troops in July 1862, the camp was revived and renamed in honor of United States Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton.[3][4] It served as the training camp and rendezvous for recruits from eastern Massachusetts (recruits from western Massachusetts were sent to Camp Wool in Worcester, Massachusetts).[5] The camp trained ten infantry regiments and four artillery batteries of the Massachusetts militia,[2] including the 17th, 19th, 22nd, 23rd, 33rd, 35th, 38th, 39th, 40th, and 41st regiments of infantry and the 3rd, 5th, 9th, and 10th batteries of light artillery.[6] Soldiers stationed at Camp Schouler/Stanton during training included Edward A. Wild, Henry Wilson, Nelson A. Miles, Edward Winslow Hinks, and Arthur F. Devereux.[7][8] During World War I it was renamed Camp Houston and served as a Massachusetts National Guard mobilization camp in 1917.[1][4] It was located on the Newburyport Turnpike (now part of U.S. Route 1) near the Peabody, Massachusetts line.[7][9] The camp was divided into streets, with tents and cook houses located on both sides of the Turnpike to Suntaug Lake.[4]
