Longarm And The Yuma Prison (2014) - Plot & Excerpts

On their way across southern Arizona, the conductor had been more than happy to give them a little local history concerning the riverfront town. Located at the junction of the Gila and Colorado rivers, Yuma had at first become an important crossing on the road from Sonora to California, and the Spanish had established an early mission on the California side of the river. But only a few years later, the local Indians had massacred everyone, and it wasn’t until the California Gold Rush that the United States Army had founded a fort on the abandoned mission site to serve as protection for the overland travelers bound for the gold fields. For many years, steamboats and the Butterfield Overland Mail had been the only suppliers of the fort, and then the railroad had arrived in 1877, which greatly boosted the activity and population.
    “When this railroad arrived, suddenly the town mushroomed,” the conductor said. “Land was cheap and city lots cost almost nothing.”
