Old Stone Fort, Wabaunsee County

This structure is known as the Old Stone Fort. As best as I can guess, it was likely an outpost of Fort Riley, which is about a day's ride away by horse. The site overlooks an important stream crossing and cattle trail which were vital in driving cattle to the railroad, about another five miles away. The buildings don't look like a ranch. There is a stable, but not a barn so there was no provision for large quantities of livestock feed nor crop storage. Besides, only the Army would put the livestock stable upwind of the living quarters.

Me, being a history buff and historic preservation major, I like the historical overview text that accompanies the images...because it brings the photo to life. Nice shot and nice story.

Thank you everyone. This is from the Flint Hills. I found it just by cruising the backroads. The warm color is strictly from the J&C warmtone paper. I like that paper a lot.
 
Hi Alex, been a while since I checked in on you last. This picture is one of my favorites of yours. It has a great feel to it & as Drew pointed, it's nice to know a little about the subject. Makes it even more interesting.
