Abstract
The mud brick wall remnants at Fort Selden State Monument, New Mexico, USA were stabilized in 1972, 1974, and 1985. The techniques employed included the placement of caps on the wall tops, repair of coving at the wall bases, establishment of drainage slopes to prevent the accumulation of water next to walls, preservation landscaping, and construction of visitor trails. This report is a description and evaluation of that work.
