Fort Verde State Historic Park in the town of Camp Verde, Arizona is a small park that attempts to preserve parts of the Apache Wars-era fort as it appeared in the 1880s. The park was established in 1970 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places a year later.
Settlers in the mid-19th century near the Verde River grew corn and other crops with the prospect of getting good prices from nearby Prescott, which was the territorial capital, and from nearby miners. The rapid increase in population for the mining economy disrupted the hunting and gathering environments of the local native American tribes, the Dilzhe'e Apache and Yavapai. In turn, they raided the farmers' crops for food.
The farmers requested military protection from the United States Army and, in 1865, although Arizona was still only a territory, the infantry arrived. They set up a several posts over the next few years: Fort Verde was one of the five posts in the area.
The fort was never enclosed by walls or stockades and it never saw fighting on site. At its height, it consisted of twenty-two buildings, only four of which survived until 1956, when local citizens created a small museum in the administration building. They later donated the buildings and ten acres as a State Park.

And it was all done in Lightroom, except the clouds. There were ugly commercial buildings there, so replaced them with clouds in Photoshop.

Dear Bob - I am so touched by the words in your description of this piece! Yes, although I may not be familiar with the history, but the picture does seem to show some kind of help the soldier was giving to these people in the picture.
