The Twelve Travelers Memorial of the Southwest was established in 
  1993 and organized to increase public awareness for the Twelve 
  Travelers Project. 
  
  This project is a series of twelve bronze monuments of historical 
  figures of the Southwest.
  
  These monuments will be placed in El Paso, Texas for the enjoyment 
  and education of all who visit. Our vision is to have the monuments 
  in close enough proximity so as to promote a leisurely walk through 
  history as each monument can be visited and viewed.
  
  We have completed four of them.  They are:  Benito Juarez at the 
  Chamizl National Memorial, the Equestrian at the El Paso 
  International Airport,  Susan Magoffin at the Keystone Hertiage Park, 
  4200 Doniphan Park and Fray Garcia de San Francisco at 125 Pioneer 
  Plaza, dowtown.
  
  
  Candidates for the next bronze monuments are:
    **Cabeza de Vaca**- Explorer & Healer and **Estebanico**- Linguist, 
    Explorer, First black man in the U.S.
    Monument of **Francisco Tilagua and Bartolo Pique** - Founders of
    the Tigua Indians.
    Monument of **Henry Ossian Flipper** – Soldier, Engineer, Surveyor, 
    Translator & Historian.
