In April 1889, The Century magazine published Frederic Remington’s Marching on the Desert, one of a series of illustrations that the artist created to accompany his article “A Scout With The Buffalo Soldiers,” which recounted his two-week military escapade with Lt. Powhatan H. Clarke’s 10th U.S. Cavalry across Arizona’s eastern mountains from Fort Grant in 1888. – Illustration Courtesy the Author’s Collection –[/cap
