Hi here Mr Doodle. In 1995 on one of my first motorcycle trips west I
stopped at
Ft Sumner. There is / was a Museum there as well as his grave. I was
just starting my interest in western history and was quit impressed with
the place.
The state of New Mexico I think is just trying to show how much history
they have for the tourist to see. Examples also
like Taos, Santa Fe, Chaco Canyon & the ruins there, as well as Roswell
& Carlsbad.
I imagine your state has places it advertises for tourists also. Later.
