Yes, this is a town. |
Fort Sumner is famous for Billy the Kid. |
It was established as a reservation to hold both Navajo and Apache Indians who were marched across NM "The Long Walk." It is a horrifying tale. |
This is the Bosque Redondo Memorial dedicated to those whose lives were lost on the reservation and "The Long Walk." |
Wow, interesting history.. in all the years I lived there, we never made it to Ft. Sumner... we might have to come visit you! =-) Carson is really into the western stuff, so this would be right up his alley!
