We need another Stand Watie and gang to patrol that.:)
No monuments or marble shafts Keep silent record of the time When grey clan ranks of warriors rode The Indian Nation line.
But mists of time have not eclipsed The ancient stories of the day, And still the whispered words are heard, "Stand Watie passed this way."
The noon of darkness casts its spell: Dutch Billy's bugle sounds once more And Watie heads his column out To ride through legend's door.
Now once again the muskets fire While "Eagle" Buzzard spirits soars, And smoothbores spew their deadly hail As Watie leads to war.
But now - the Red Fox rides no more, No bands of men, with muffled sound Slip through the night to strike at dawn; The fight is thru, the moon is down.
Now who will sing old Watie's song, And who will tell his tale, And who will keep the rendezvous Along the Texas Trail? http://www.namsouth.com/viewtopic.php?t=54&highlight=watie
They sure could be nailed from the top.

DeleteMiss Violet is right about not holding the highest ground, but I could work with that!... :-)

Keep silent record of the time
When grey clan ranks of warriors rode
The Indian Nation line.
But mists of time have not eclipsed
The ancient stories of the day,
And still the whispered words are heard,
"Stand Watie passed this way."
The noon of darkness casts its spell:
Dutch Billy's bugle sounds once more
And Watie heads his column out
To ride through legend's door.
Now once again the muskets fire
While "Eagle" Buzzard spirits soars,
And smoothbores spew their deadly hail
As Watie leads to war.
But now - the Red Fox rides no more,
No bands of men, with muffled sound
Slip through the night to strike at dawn;
The fight is thru, the moon is down.
Now who will sing old Watie's song,
And who will tell his tale,
And who will keep the rendezvous
Along the Texas Trail?

I blew it up 400%. 99% sure it's a model. The window curtains on the cottage on the far right are painted in.
