Additional Comments:
Adjacent plaque reads:
Captain Simpson had a distinguished military career in New Mexico, served in 
the State Legislature, and was a friend of Kit Carson. Simpson, along with 
other staunch Union supporters - Kit Carson, Ceran St. Vrain, and Tom Boggs - 
was instrumental in re-erecting the U.S. flag in the Taos Plaza after 
Confederates removed it during the Civil War. Since that day the U.S. flag has 
flown day and night in Taos Plaza to commemorate the event.
