DETROIT'SOUL has kinsmen in the Southwest...

The DETROIT’SOUL moves outside of the bounds of Detroit to the Southwest to a place along the Santa Fe Trail to a little crossroads called Pecos, New Mexico. This is where a Polish immigrant by the name of Martin Kozlowski arrived in 1846 and opened a stage stop along the Trail. Another bit of history was played out at Martin Koslowski’s stage stop during the American Civil War. The Battle of Glorieta Pass which took place a few miles west of Koslowski’s in March of 1862. Colonel John P. Slough the commander of Union Forces used Koslowski’s Ranch as the Union headquarters.
