As settlement approached, U.S. soldiers patrolled and skirmished with the Indians in the area. In the 1870s, hunters and cattlemen arrived. After the Indians and the buffalo passed into history, settlers came into the gap, drawn to its abundant water and good grazing. A new town called Buffalo Gap arose the first capital of Taylor County. Born in Abilene, Frank Redlinger grew up just a few miles from Buffalo Gap.<BR><BR>The preparatory pencil drawing from which the block print was made is included with this lot.<BR><BR>Provenance:<BR>Estate of Frank Redlinger<BR><BR> <B>Condition Report:</B> Print: Light toning to paper.
