My Next Historic Painting

Presently I am researching "The Cheyenne Deadwood Stage Coach Run." I have most of the research done. I just need more information on the buildings at some of the stage shops. Also, I am deciding on the event that I want to recreate. Then I will look for portraits of the persons involved. My goal is to depict the stagecoach and the action of the six horse hitch in a way that will show the courage of the stage drivers and the tenacity and dedication of the men running the stage stops. This was another step in opening up the western frontier and many persons had their mettle tested more than once.
