Dr. Wilson undertook studies of cultural resource management in New Mexico,as well as published a number of work in the topical areas of New Mexico and the southwest United States. Fort Sumner was a military fort in New Mexico Territory charged with the internment of Navajo and Mescalero Apache populations from 1863-1868 at nearby Bosque Redondo. On October 31, 1862, Congress authorized the construction of Fort Sumner. General James Henry Carleton initially justified the fort as offering protection to settlers in the Pecos River valley from the Mescalero Apache, Kiowa, and Comanche. He also created the Bosque Redondo reservation, a 1,600-square-mile area where over 9,000 Navajo and Mescalero Apaches were provided to live because of accusations that they were raiding white settlements near their respective homelands. The fort was named for General Edwin Vose Sumner. More
