Adobe Wall, Ft. Union
The storied Santa Fe Trail is the stuff of myth and legend, the telling of which could fill a thousand-foot bookshelf. Kit Carson, Wild Bill Hickock, Annie Oakley, “Uncle” Dick Wootton, and Bat Masterson rode up and down this trail and into the history of dime novels and moving pictures and the popular consciousness of a nation. Along the way, they, and many a soldier, fur trapper, trader, and roustabout passed within sight of these walls at Fort Union, on the vast plains of northern New Mexico, near the Cimarron Valley and the Sangre de Cristos Mountains.
