Colonel Edwin V. Sumner established Fort Union several miles north of the junction of the two main branches of the Santa Fe Trail, on a tributary of the Mora river, in July, 1851. He chose the location for several reasons. 1) Sumner deemed Santa Fe as “morally degrading.” There were a lot of bars and brothels, which provided too many tempting distractions for soldiers. 2) Use soldiers to construct a fort and to farm was less expensive than leasing buildings, contracting to vendors, or purchasing provisions. 3) Problems with Comanche, Ute, and Jicarilla Apache along the southern route of the Santa Fe Trail jeopardized the primary supply line to the new territory. Troops could patrol and be more readily mobilized from the Plains than from the Sangre de Cristos.

I was lying down in bed the other day and I had a vision of an old wild west cabin with a roller coaster in the distance. I had to draw it!

Behind the Gulch, Bisbee AZ 2023 #oilpainting #landscape I took the image last summer on a short visit to that funky old #miningtown #bisbee #arizona - where I lived for the first year that I moved west from Boston (early 90’s) it’s a great little #arttown in southeastern AZ… I highly recommend it for day trippers and tourists who want to get a real “ National Geographic “ type of experience. Remember to bring your walking shoes and get ready to step up ( and down) Bisbee is built in #tombstonecanyon and it’s the home of the thousands steps race. #stairway #oldwest #oilonpanel #maureenbrusazappellini #smfabostonalumni https://www.instagram.com/p/CovqdmBvA8w/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Took inspiration from “Vanishing Breed,” a book I picked up at the antique shop in town. What is it about cowboys that is so intriguing? There’s a lot to not like, re: misogyny, racism, manifest destiny etc etc. And yet... Sometimes, in the morning I think about what the sky outside would look like from the perspective of a horse on the plains. Shit, I romanticize a can of beans heating over a fire or even the feel of a thick shirt worn every day for weeks without washing.  Would I actually like that lifestyle? I can all but guarantee I wouldn’t. If not because I have a painful body right now, then certainly because it would become painful in time with that life. Plus all the misogyny, racism, etc. Farewell, cowboy!
