False past horizons14 Kit Carson, The Buffalo Soldiers, the Battle of Glorieta Pass, the Ute Campaign of 1879: these are the topics that are of interest to the visitor who arrives at the Fort Garland Museum in Southern Colorado. While all of these are important topics that relate to the history of this frontier post, they are secondary to the focus of the 20 students and half dozen volunteers that make up the crew of the Fort Garland Archaeology Field School run by Adams State College for six weeks every summer.
