In the United States military, by January 1880, Colonel Nelson A. Miles had established a line of heliographs connecting Fort Keogh and Fort Custer, Montana, a distance of 140 miles.[24] Major W. J. Volkman of the US Army, demonstrated in Arizona and New Mexico
the possibility of performing communication by heliograph over a range
of 200 miles. The network of communication begun by General Miles in
1886, and continued by Lieutenant W. A. Glassford, was perfected in 1889
at ranges of 85, 88, 95, and 125 miles over a rugged and broken
country, which was the stronghold of the Apache and other hostile Indian tribes.[8]
