Fort Vasquez is the site of an 1835 trading fort built by Louis Vasquez and Andrew Sublette along the South Platte River, on the former Trappers Trail. Vasquez and Sublette stocked their outpost with goods to trade for buffalo robes and furs from the Plains Indians.The South Platte River was vital for the Native American tribes, including the Kiowa, Cheyenne, and Arapahoe, and the fur traders along the Colorado front range corridor.
I love the texture of adobe bricks visible in this painting. The Fort was recently restored with a fresh layer of adobe, and the individual bricks are no longer visible. The water marks on the left side of the painting provide more texture and intrigue to this historical landmark, now cared for by the Colorado Historical Society.
