Inscription in marble at the back of the Ampitheatre at Palo Duro Canyon

PIONEER AMPITHEATRE

National Geographic Documentary, "THE PANHANDLE OF TEXAS IS THE LAND OF MAMMOTHS. HERE PREHISTORIC MAN QUARRIED THE FLINT HE TRADED. HERE CORONADO HUNTED FOR THE CITY OF GOLD. HERE FRAY DE PADILLA THE FRANCISCAN, WORKED AND WAS MARTYRED. HERE THE BUFFALO LAST STAMPEDED. HERE THE APACHES AND COMANCHES AND KIOWAS BARGAINED WITH THE SPANISH COMANCHERO TRADERS. HERE THE MEXICAN SHEEPHERDERS AND BUFFALO HUNTERS AND THE WAGONTRAINS PASSED. HERE FORT ELLIOT PROTECTED THE CATTLETRAILS. HERE COLONEL GOODNIGHT SETTLED IN THE PALO DURO CANYON AFTER THE WAR BETWEEN THE STATES AND THOMAS BUGBEE SETTLED ON THE CANADIAN RIVER. HERE TEN COUNTIES OF THE XIT RANCH WERE GIVEN BY THE STATE OF TEXAS IN RETURN FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE CAPITOL. HERE BARBED WIRE CONTROLLED THE PLAINS, AND WINDMILLS AND IRRIGATION FOUND THE WATER. HERE COVERED WAGONS AND IMMIGRANT TRAINS BROUGHT FARMERS TO JOIN THE CATTLEMEN IN SUFFERING THE DRY YEARS AND THE STORMS AND IN REVELING THE SUN AND THE SOD. HERE OIL AND GAS FIELDS BROUGHT THEIR RICHES. HERE THERE IS SPACE AND CLEAN AIR AND HIGH SKY. WELCOME."

This is precisely how this engraving is written...all tops and the words HERE in intense.

We observed this to be entirely moving and it unquestionably tells the historical backdrop of the range!

National Geographic Documentary, In the event that you ever have an opportunity to visit Palo Duro Canyon State Park in Texas you won't leave baffled. Really the "Amazing Canyon of Texas" this is a picture taker's fantasy. Explorers, bikers, the individuals who like to ride stallions or just drive the cleared streets through the gorge won't need for lovely view and revelations around each niche and corner. This is Nature taking care of business.
