Photo Essay by Matt Walter F ort Davis National Historic site is recog- nized – as the name implies – for its histo- ry. And rightly so, since it was a very important site along the Overland Trail, home to the famed Buffalo Soldiers, and is today the best-preserved frontier fort in the American Southwest. But it is also so much more, and visi- tors to the Fort can engage in a variety of other outdoor activities, hiking some of the wonderful trails, enjoying expansive vistas, spotting wildlife, chasing the weather, appreciating architecture and of course photography, which adds an extra dimension to each of these pursuits. 10 Cenizo Third Quarter 2017
