Shopping and Apache Chief Victorio

Following the Rush Limbaugh Show (and a nap), I headed off to Continental Divide (8 miles east) to the Indian Market.

The new side table needed a little color and I went there to see if they had small Indian blankets to accent the table.

Sure enough, they did and, which is "icing on the cake", they were 20% off the marked price. I looked through them and found one I liked and bought it.

Here's what the table looks like with the blanket:



While at the Indian Market, I noticed they had a collection of historical photograph postal cards on a rack. They had photos of a variety of people including Chief Geronimo and Wyatt Earp. They also had one of Apache Chief Victorio. A fictional Victorio appeared in the John Wayne movie, Hondo. Actor Michael Pate placed Victorio. He didn't look anything like the historical Victorio.

Above, Apache Chief Victorio.

According to Wikipedia:
Victorio was a warrior and chief of the Warm Springs band of the Tchihendeh division of the central Apaches in what is now the American states of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and the Mexican states of Sonora and Chihuahua.
