many historic trails that criss-cross Arizona, including: the routes used
by Juan Bautista deAnza and the Spanish padres on their way to California
in the 18th Century; the military roads followed by General Kearny during
the Mexican War, and General Crook in later Indian wars; the Southern
Emigrant Road taken by emigrants during the Gold Rush; the military
expeditions to find a route across Northern Arizona; and the wagon roads
that supplied Prescott from the Colorado River before the arrival of the
railroad in the 1890s.
