Book Description
Excerpt from On the Trail of a Spanish Pioneer, Vol. 1 of 2: The Diary and Itinerary of Francisco Garces It is with the deepest regret we announce that Dr. Elliott Coues, the author and editor of the various works on Western Exploration which it has been our privilege to publish, passed away to his final resting place December 25, 1899. Though suffering great pain, he with cheerful courage revised the last proofs and wrote the Introduction to this his final work. We have not to do here with his place as a student and historian of Western history and the Western country, nor of the value of the fifteen volumes of which he was the author-editor; but we deem it a duty and a pleasure publicly to testify our appreciation of him from a publisher's point of view. Our acquaintance with Dr. Coues commenced in 1892, when we suggested his revising and editing a new edition of "Lewis and Clark Expedition." From that time until his death we have been almost in daily communication with him, and never had a single misunderstanding of any kind.

"On making the ford the party passes from Arizona into California, and camps in the well-known locality of Fort Yuma, if not on the very site of this military post, which dates from 1850. The first establishment there was made in Sept., 1849, when Camp Calhoun was formed by Lt. Cave Johnson Couts, U. S. Dragoons, in command of an escort for Whipple's boundary survey. The tide of travel was just then setting strongly, the Indians were uneasy, and military protection was imperative. Next year a ferry boat was running; and on Nov. 27, 1850, Capt. and Bvt. Major Samuel Peter Heintzelman of the 2d Infantry arrived from San Diego with three small companies. The post he established that winter was called Camp Independence. Lt. George Hasket (or Horatio?) Derby, of the YUMA. 147 ( any mishap. Having gone about a league northwest Topographical Engineers, better known as a humorist by the alias of John Phoenix, sailed from San Francisco Nov. 1, 1850, and was up the river in January, 1851, then meeting Heintzelman. (See his Report, Reconn. Gulf Cala. and Col. R., 185051, Senate Ex. Doc. No. 81, 326 Cong. 1st sess., June 19, 1852, 8vo, pp. 28, map.) In March, 1851, Camp Independence was shifted to the site of the old Spanish mission of 1780-81 called La Purisima Concepcion, and thus was Camp Yuma or Fort Yuma established. In June, 1851, on account of the difficulty of getting supplies by wagon across the desert, the troops were withdrawn to Santa Isabel (then a shiftless Indian village, with a roofless church), except a small guard left at Yuma under Lt. Thomas Wm. Sweeny. In Nov., 1851, this guard was re-enforced...
