In 2005 the City of Gallup commissioned a mural project to beautify and capture the area’s heritage and history. The result is nine amazing murals within easy walking distance of each other in the downtown area.
Located in the downtown walkway behind the American Bar on Coal Ave, artist Andrew Butler captures a piece of Gallup’s wild west history when he depicts the mob coal miner conflict when the sheriff was shot with his own gun. This event happened in the very alley this mural is painted.
