Fort McKavitt.

One of the best preserved US Army posts from the 1850’s in Texas. Even Gen. Sherman thought it was a beautiful spot. My bud who is the historical director there now for the Texas Historical Commission, Cody Mobley, is quite the Collodial artiste!

"Come, shall we go and kill us venison?
And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
