The major military base in the West for forty years, Fort Union figured prominently in the history of the Civil War, the Indian Wars, and the Santa Fe Trail. New photography of the park shows the extent of the preserved fort as well as reenactments and artifacts from nineteenth-century military history.
"The ruins of Fort Union graphically commemorate the achievements of the men who won the West. Located on the route of the Santa Fe Trail where the mountains meet the plains, the fort is centered in a region full of historic events and brimming with the romance of the frontier. As a base of operations for both military and civilian ventures in New Mexico for 40 years, 1851 to 1891, Fort Union played a key role in shaping the destiny of the Southwest." --Page 1.
