Brig. Gen. Daniel Stewart: Born in Liberty County, Georgia, Daniel Stewart enlisted in the militia during the American Revolution. Captured by the British, Stewart escaped from a prison ship docked in Charleston Harbor. After the war, Stewart served as a state representative and county sheriff for Liberty County, where he assisted with resolving the Creek Indian wars in Georgia. While serving as state senator for Liberty County, Stewart was promoted to brigadier general in the Georgia Militia and commanded a cavalry brigade during the War of 1812. The announcement that Camp Stewart would be named after him was made in January 1941. It was renamed Fort Stewart when it became a permanent installation in 1956.
