Description

Realistic model of adult Rio Grande chub (gila pandora).

“The Rio Grande Chub has large eyes and an elongated head. They also have a forked tail. They typically have a dark dorsal side, or back. They have a light underside. The colors gradually get lighter as you move to the ventral side. They have two faint black lines along the sides of their body.

One these lines is above the fish’s lateral line and the other is below. While these fish are breading, the fins, sides, and mouth of the fish will take on a yellowish color. Males will express brighter colors than females during this period.

More detailed identification can be achieved by counting the number of scales that make up this fish’s lateral line. The Rio Grade chub will have between 51 and 67 scales that create the lateral line. There are also 8 rays in both the dorsal and anal fin. This fish also has 6 to 10 gill rakers.”

Building in Stages

Locally made adobe bricks form the walls of this building.

Feel the sun-dried mud and embedded straw.

These rooms have taken shape over the last 150 years.

They’ve been a family home, a place of hospitality, a hospital, and ranch headquarters.

At first the building was very small.

The Kozlowski family of eight lived in 550 square feet.

The size of the building more than doubled during this time.

Dude ranch owner Tex Austin greatly expanded the building to use it as the headquarters for his Forked Lightning Ranch.

Ranch owners Buddy Fogelson and Greer Garson added a gate and porches.

Suggested style for portraits

Stylistically, the images should be realistic, sophisticated in style, and historically accurate. The style should complement the other graphics in the exhibit. Note that specifics of body position for each portrait are not provided here and will need to be determined by the illustrator.

Characteristics that are required:

• Subject matter rendered in realistic ways

• Position of subject matter looks natural and rendering is sophisticated—not appropriate are illustrations that appear cartoonish

• In attempt to streamline costs, it is NOT appropriate to replace the illustration style for this project with a one that is not comparable with what is shown on this page.

Custom Illustrations: Style Overview

Suggested style for flora and fauna

Black and white drawing in a realistic pen and ink style that features a simple yet detailed linework. Style should be clean yet look hand drawn. A modern, computer-based vector style is not desirable. For illustrations that appear on multiple panels, the artwork should be complex enough that it can repeat.

Illustrations should be treated in photoshop so they are colored the light pantone color of the scene and set against the darker Pantone color of the panels. For example, in Scene 04, the dominant panel color is a bold green (Pantone 377).

The illustration color should be the lighter green (Pantone

374) used in the scene. After the illustration has been complete, this coloring can be accomplished in photoshop through a variety of methods. See sample graphics on following pages.

Sample artwork by Jonathan Machen.

The Santa Fe Trail

The Santa Fe Trail was a 900-mile, two-way highway of trade linking Missouri and Santa Fe.

The route followed long-established indigenous pathways. Mexican and American freighters first used the trail to haul wagons loaded with goods in the 1820s. When the United States acquired the southwest territories from Mexico in 1848, trade along the trail boomed.

By the 1850s, New Mexico depended on the trail for supplies and business. Towns, military forts, and stage stops like this one became essential points on the long journey where travelers could find supplies, support, and shelter.

Great Prairie Highway

1821 to 1880s

Blue grama grass provides food for cattle and other grazing animals. It grows in mixed-grass prairie habitats from Canada to central Mexico.

Trading in Santa Fe Carlos Armijo

Running a business on the Santa Fe Trail often involved the whole family. Carlos Armijo helped his parents run their store, Chick, Armijo, and Co. They sold supplies and trade goods for travelers to take east on the trail to Missouri and beyond.

Traveling the Trail Marian Sloan Russell

As part of a trading family, Marian crossed the country many times on the Santa Fe Trail with her mother and brother. She may have stopped here on one of her five trips on the trail.

I was seven on this trip in 1852 across the prairies…when I got tired of sitting on the hard spring seat by mother, I would crawl back among the blankets where I would play with my doll or fall asleep.

Kozlowski Stage Stop

Hospitality on the Santa Fe Trail

Near a year-round spring and Glorieta Creek, the Kozlowski family established a stage stop here on the Santa Fe Trail.

Between 1858 and 1880, Elena, Martin, and their children sold supplies, served hearty meals, ran an inn, and provided a safe place to camp and pasture animals.

To further provide for their growing family, they also fished, farmed, ranged cattle, and gathered piñon nuts.

Turning Point in the Southwest

When the Civil War erupted, the newly formed

Confederacy looked to the west. Access to the

Pacific Ocean and the gold fields of Colorado and California would help fund their war effort.

Glorieta Pass, the long-time route through the mountains, became the stage for a pivotal battle that halted the Confederacy’s westward aspirations.

Civil War Comes to Glorieta Pass

March 26–28, 1862

Ponderosa pines grow abundantly at the battlefield.

Their bark has a distinctive vanilla or butterscotch scent.

Drawn Into Battle, Reluctantly

Union and Confederate forces fought the Civil War in most of the United States over the enslavement of Black Americans. In the New Mexico Territory, there were few enslaved people; motivations to fight were local. More than 3,500 New Mexicans fought in the Civil War. Most volunteered for the Union.

For local Hispanos, there was a long antagonistic history with Texans. When Texas sided with the Confederacy, New Mexican Hispanos joined the Union to defend against what they saw as Texan aggression— defending their land and economic status.

What is the position of New Mexico?

The answer is a short one.

She desires to be let alone.

—Santa Fe Gazette, May 11, 1861

Sam Adams, a free Black New Mexican, was a private and cook for the 1st Colorado

Calvary Regiment and was likely at the Battle of Glorieta Pass. He remained in the region with his local

Hispano wife Timothea Chavez. This photo was taken in 1915 at the ruins of the Spanish mission in Pecos.

Illustration shows landscape around Pecos National Historical Park, specifically near the trading post. Importantly, the illustration should show the patchwork of land use in this area: cleared pastureland interspersed among a pinon-juniper natural landscape. Cows should appear in pasture (either silhouettes or line drawings) to signify that the open space is grazing land. Local mountains and foothills can be shown in the background. The same Illustration can be used on all panels, as shown below.

Tex Austin understood how to get attention.

This sign shows off the ranch name and and its distinctive logo.

Forked Lightning Ranch

In 1925, entrepreneur Tex Austin capitalized on a romanticized notion of the Old West—cowboys, cattle rides, camping under the stars—by establishing the Forked Lightning dude ranch.

The ease of train travel enticed adventure seekers with big dreams and deep pockets. A week at the ranch cost $125 (about $2,000 in today’s dollars).

Austin’s ranch, seemingly as big as all outdoors, with only the far distant skyline as its boundaries is only two miles from… a station on the Santa Fe Trail Railroad thirty-four hours from Chicago.

—NEED CITE

The Real West?

1925–1934

Grasses and grazing cattle can seem like a natural combination in the northern New Mexico landscape. But prior to ranching, there were more woodlands here. People cleared the trees to encourage grasses to grow.

Cattle and Philanthropy

They came for the beauty, the climate, the proximity to Santa Fe, and the sense of space.

This couple from far away—Buddy Fogelson from Nebraska and Texas, Greer Garson from London and Hollywood—ran a busy ranch on this land for more than 40 years.

With their sizable fortunes, they had the luxury to run the ranch for pleasure over profits. They cared deeply for their animals and loved the land.

Greer and Buddy made their home in the Forked Lightning ranch house.

The ranch hands lived in this building.

Pecos National Historical Park National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior

Trading Post This brightly colored building has had many functions: stage stop on the Santa Fe Trail, Civil War hospital, dude ranch headquarters, and now a place to experience history.

Natural springs flow from sandstone rock nearby. This made the area an attractive place for immigrants Elena and Martin Kozlowski to set up their Santa Fe Trail stage stop.

Picnic at spring, ca. 1920

Kozlowski ranch and stage stop, ca. 1899

In the midst of the Civil War, this building transformed from stage stop to Union Army field hospital after the Battle of Glorieta Pass.

Rodeo promoter Tex Austin expanded the original building, using it as the headquarters for his dude ranch, the Forked Lightning Ranch.

1850s

IM-01.01-104 Regional Map Style

Description

The map should have the look and feel of a traditional National Park Service map. Text should be in NPS Rawlinson OT and Adobe Fruitger Std only. Fabricator should work with park staff and Harpers Ferry to ensure that the visual identity of the map fits into the existing guidelines.

This map should highlight the proximity of the trading post to Glorieta Creek. Labels should include:

• You are here

CE-06.02-200 Dress up Interactive

Purpose and Intent

The dress up corner allows visitors to try on clothes.

Proposed Fabrication Technique

The clothing should be durable and look period-appropriate for the 1920s.

Clothing should be provided in various sizes:

• kids size 5-7

• kids size 8-10

• adult sizes

Where possible, adult-sized clothing should feature drawstrings and open backs so that people of varying size and stature can try the clothing on. Dresses should be completely open in the back. Pants should be drawstring-waist. Pants should be drop-front style, but non-functional. Suspenders should be provided on mens’ pants.

3 sets of clothing should be purchased in order to include replacements. A limited number of dress-up clothes should be hung on exhibit, but additional props should be purchased and stored so that they can be brought out for larger groups to use.

Dress up items to include:

• 10-gallon hat

• Leather chaps

• Shorter Ike-style jacket (breast pockets, buttons, rustic)

• Longer duster jacket

• Colorful cowboy cravats/neck kerchiefs

• Colorful flannel/button-up shirts

• Vest

• Leather belt

• Leather or heavy duty cloth skirt

CE-06.02-200 Dress up Interactive

Sawhorse with contemporary saddle, saddle blanket, and reins so that visitors can climb upon it as if it were a horse. The saddle, blanket, and reins should all be secured to the sawhorse. Visitors should not be able to unsaddle the sawhorse.

CE-06.02-400 Saddled Sawhorse

CE-06.02-400 Saddled Sawhorse

Large puzzle with six removable pieces. The pieces should each have a large knob on them for visitors to be able to grasp and lift. Fabricator should provide multiples of each loose piece. See drawing set for details.

CE-06.02-500 Santa Gertrudis Interactive

CE-06.02-500 Santa Gertrudis Interactive

Why are Santa Gertrudis cattle a good fit for New Mexico?

Pecos can be a challenging place to live for cattle because of its high elevation, little rain, and extreme temperatures.

Buddy Fogelson and Greer Garson brought these cattle from Arkansas in hopes that they could thrive here.
