Inscription. This drawing of Fort Inge was done by French artist Leon Trousset (1838-1917) on February 22, 1867, on a trip through Texas to California. Traveling on the "lower road" he made the only known drawing of Fort Inge. On his journey he also made drawings of crossing the Devils River, a view of Horse Shoe Bend on the Pecos River and Fort Davis.

Trousset traveled throughout the southwest and California drawing the beautiful Spanish churches. He later settled in Cuidad Juarez, Chihuahua.

Erected by Fort Inge Historical Park and Annette & Joe A. Cardenas Family.
