The Legend of Fort Leaton is a true story of dreams, courage, murder, and revenge. A group of rugged individualists carved a home and a future out of the suffocating Chihuahuan Desert in the Big Bend area of Texas. Their fortress along the banks of the Rio Grande provided the only oasis of civilization in that desolate land. They fought hostile Indians, brigands of all sorts, even the land itself. Their landmark remains standing today, a hand-hewn adobe trading post an entire acre large that is a tribute to the daring and resourcefulness of the pioneers who settled the most forbidding of America's frontiers.
