Caption: Cuerno Verde Marker Detail
Additional Description: The image of the mountain man has become emblematic of western trade settlements, in no small part because of the efforts of entertainers like John Y. Nelson, of Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show (posing on horseback in the 1880s). The picture would be more accurate if women like Teresita Sandoval and clerks-turned-frontiersmen like Alexander Barclay had been added to the popular image.
