Description
The mural “The Stampede” by Tom Lea was painted for the historic former post office building in Odessa, Texas. The work, which has since been relocated to the city’s current post office, was commissioned by the Treasury Section of Fine Arts. A sign in the post office says that this mural was inspired by the song “Little Joe the Wrangler.”
