Look For The (Fort) Union Label

At Fort Union National Monument, which, we gotta say is/was one lonely outpost in the middle of nowhere. Of course, back in the day most of the Santa Fe Trail was out in the middle of nowhere. So all things considered, Fort Union was actually a pretty happening place during its heyday in the pre- and post-Civil War era.

So what filled in the spaces in the walls? Wooden timbers? Cuz if so, did they have to haul those timbers in from somewhere else that had trees?

Looks like there's no gift shop. Sigh. What is the world coming to?
