A very attractive white stucco adobe chapel sitting in a quiet hamlet 9 miles east of Santa Fe, NM. The scene is up the hill behind the chapel. It is owned by 5 families who maintain and use this chapel built in 1811. There is a bit of Civil War history in this location. There is a road that passes in front and swings around the chapel to an open area where the 2500 manned Texas cavalry regiment quartered their wagons and horses. Then the dismounted Confederate cavalry engaged the 500 Union soldiers from Las Vegas area to the northeast with the 1000 manned Colorado volunteers to the east on the old Santa Fe Trail Road that passed through the town of Pecos. A major Chivington with 250 men went along the heights that paralleled that Santa Fe Trail Road, came down behind the fighting Confederate forces, killed the horses and burned the wagons. That forced the Texas Confederates to retreat. Their ultimate goal was the gold fields of Colorado. Painting is on 12-inch by 16-inch panel. Unframed but framing available.
