1857: Beale Wagon road is carved through Central Arizona to California. (1 dic 1857 año – 1 dic 1857 año)

Descripción:

In 1857, Edward Fitzgerlad Beale carved a road through Central Arizona. This road stretched for miles and was very wide to accommodate large influxes of settlers traveling with wagons and horses to California. This road encroached on Hualapai and Yavapai land, resulting in frequent interactions and increased tension between settlers and indigenous peoples.
