The original photograph I shot February 14, 2005, capturing a very dry landscape on the Chisholm Trail, south of Duncan, Oklahoma. The sky was hazy filled with smoke from a wildfire and I loved seeing the old windmill on that expansive land. Fifteen years later I rediscovered the image in my files and decided to add some textures. I wanted some old book pages as the texture and to add the writing as added interest. I remembered I had this 1957 book, "We Were There on the Chisholm Trail" written by Ross McLaury Taylor (1909-1977) and illustrated by Charles Banks Wilson (August 6, 1918 – May 2, 2013). Historical consultant was Stanley Vestal (August 15, 1887 – December 25, 1957). Taylor was born in Oklahoma, and Wilson was born in Springdale, AR, then moved to Oklahoma.

Toni, this is STUNNING. It's amazing how you did this!
Toni Hopper replied:
Thanks Shelia! Another part of the story is that Taylor, author of that book, lived in Springdale, AR, and I just happened to live there too, years after his death though. I have an ancestor whose portrait hangs in the Shiloh Museum there in Springdale. (More history).
