Henry Hopkins Sibley (1816-1886) graduated from West Point in 1838, was commissioned a second lieutenant in the 2nd U.S. Dragoons, and served in the Seminole War. In 1856, he patented the Sibley Tent, which could accommodate 20 soldiers and their gear and was widely used on the frontier afterward. Sibley also invented the Sibley Stove to heat the tent. These sheet iron stoves remained in use until the advent of World War II. The Sibley Stove was later used as a grove heater, or smudge pot, in an orange grove in neighboring Citra, FL.
