In 1886, many Yavapai Indians joined in campaigns by the US Army, as scouts, against Geronimo and other Chiricahua Apache.
This photograph from the 1880s is of two scouts who joined the ranks of the U.S. Army at Fort Verde. The Fort Verde State Historic Park is located in central Arizona between Phoenix and Flagstaff in the town of Camp Verde.
FROM WIKIPEDIA:
Fort Verde State Historic Park in the town of Camp Verde, Arizona, is a small park that attempts to preserve parts of the Apache Wars-era fort as it appeared in the 1880s. The park was established in 1970 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places a year later.
Settlers in the mid-19th century near the Verde River grew corn and other crops with the prospect of getting good prices from nearby Prescott, which was the territorial capital, and from nearby miners.
The rapid increase in population for the mining economy disrupted the hunting and gathering environments of the local native American tribes, the Dilzhe'e Apache and Yavapai. In turn, they raided the farmers' crops for food.
The farmers requested military protection from the United States Army and, in 1865, although Arizona was still only a territory, the infantry arrived. They set up a several posts over the next few years.

This deputy was flying low with lights and siren up Cornville Road and I found later that there had been a carjacking that turned into a fatal accident on I-17 somewhere between Camp Verde and Munds Park so that's likely where he was headed.

I got questioned by a Police Officer for standing outside this building. He thought I was trying to break in. He told me the store has been abandoned for a while and if you look in the window of the store there are old TVs and VHS tapes everywhere. Unfortunately I did not get a shot looking through the window.

The Grand Canyon (Hopi: Ongtupqa; Yavapai: Wi:kaʼi:la, Spanish: Gran Cañón), is a steep-sided canyon carved by the Colorado River in the United States in the state of Arizona. It is contained within and managed by Grand Canyon National Park, the Hualapai Tribal Nation, and the Havasupai Tribe. President Theodore Roosevelt was a major proponent of preservation of the Grand Canyon area, and visited it on numerous occasions to hunt and enjoy the scenery.
The Grand Canyon is 277 miles (446 km) long, up to 18 miles (29 km) wide and attains a depth of over a mile (6,000 feet or 1,800 meters). Nearly two billion years of Earth's geological history have been exposed as the Colorado River and its tributaries cut their channels through layer after layer of rock while the Colorado Plateau was uplifted. While the specific geologic processes and timing that formed the Grand Canyon are the subject of debate by geologists, recent evidence suggests that the Colorado River established its course through the canyon at least 17 million years ago. Since that time, the Colorado River continued to erode and form the canyon to its present-day configuration.
For thousands of years, the area has been continuously inhabited by Native Americans who built settlements within the canyon and its many caves. The Pueblo people considered the Grand Canyon ("Ongtupqa" in Hopi language) a holy site and made pilgrimages to it. The first European known to have viewed the Grand Canyon was García López de Cárdenas from Spain, who arrived in 1540.
El Gran Cañón (en inglés: Grand Canyon) también conocido en español como el Gran Cañón del Colorado o simplemente Cañón del Colorado, es una vistosa y escarpada garganta excavada por el río Colorado en el norte de Arizona, Estados Unidos. El Cañón está situado en su mayor parte dentro del Parque Nacional del Gran Cañón (uno de los primeros parques naturales de los Estados Unidos). El presidente Theodore Roosevelt fue el mayor promotor del área del Gran Cañón, visitándolo en numerosas ocasiones para cazar pumas o para disfrutar del impresionante paisaje. Wikipedia

**Montezuma Castle National Monument** - National Register of Historic Places Ref # 66000082, date listed 10/15/1966
40 mi. S of Flagstaff on I-17
Flagstaff, AZ (Yavapai County)
Montezuma Castle National Monument, situated in the Middle Verde drainage in central Arizona, consists of two separate parcels: (1) the Castle Unit, a 564 acre area on Beaver Creek containing 19 known archeological sites, and (2) the Well Unit, a 278 acre area containing 31 known archeological sites.
The prehistoric occupation of the monument post-dates approximately AD 1. A single Clovis projectile point base found in association with pottery is the only evidence of Early Man in the Verde Valley and no evidence of Paleo-Indlan occupation has been found in the monument. (1)
About 1100, a group of dryfarming Indians entered the Verde Valley from the north. These people, referred to as the Sinagua were probably forced out of the Flagstaff area by overpopulation. They built small communal dwellings (pueblos) of stone and farmed dry areas and the few terraces still available. Around 1250, they began to erect large compact structures, often on hilltops or in cliffs.
They began building several house clusters of limestone chunks and river boulders laid in adobe mortar. Two of these eventually became five-story apartment houses—Montezuma Castle, with 20 rooms; and, 100 yards to the west, Castle A, severely damaged in the course of time, with 45 or more rooms. These dwellings were occupied for about two centuries. As many as 200 people may have lived here; Montezuma Castle alone could have accommodated about 50 persons.
During the 1100’s, the two groups of farmers in the Verde Valley—the earlier Hohokam and the later Sinagua—blended together without apparent conflict, adopting customs and practices from each other. Then, in the 1200’s, a series of droughts in the Flagstaff area caused more Sinagua people to move into the valley. Competition for farmland along the spring-fed streams perhaps led to interpueblo strife. This may have been a major factor in the ensuing exodus from this area. By about 1450, Montezuma Castle appears to have been completely deserted. (pg 39-41 (1)

The Grand Canyon (Hopi: Ongtupqa; Yavapai: Wi:kaʼi:la, Navajo: Tsékooh Hatsoh, Spanish: Gran Cañón) is a steep-sided canyon carved by the Colorado River in the state of Arizona in the United States. It is contained within and managed by Grand Canyon National Park, the Kaibab National Forest, Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument, the Hualapai Tribal Nation, the Havasupai people and the Navajo Nation. President Theodore Roosevelt was a major proponent of preservation of the Grand Canyon area, and visited it on numerous occasions to hunt and enjoy the scenery.
The Grand Canyon is 277 miles (446 km) long, up to 18 miles (29 km) wide and attains a depth of over a mile (6,093 feet or 1,857 meters). Nearly two billion years of Earth's geological history have been exposed as the Colorado River and its tributaries cut their channels through layer after layer of rock while the Colorado Plateau was uplifted. While some aspects about the history of incision of the canyon are debated by geologists, several recent studies support the hypothesis that the Colorado River established its course through the area about 5 to 6 million years ago.Since that time, the Colorado River has driven the down-cutting of the tributaries and retreat of the cliffs, simultaneously deepening and widening the canyon.
For thousands of years, the area has been continuously inhabited by Native Americans, who built settlements within the canyon and its many caves. The Pueblo people considered
the Grand Canyon a holy site, and made pilgrimages to it.The first European known to have viewed the Grand Canyon was García López de Cárdenas from Spain, who arrived in 1540

All art is but imitation of nature.-- Seneca (Letters from a Stoic - Letter LXV: On the First Cause)
The universe itself is God and the universal outpouring of its soul. --Chrysippus (Quoted by Cicero in De Natura Deorum)
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For Summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells. --To Autumn. by John Keats

Clarkdale, AZ (Yavapai County)
Tuzigoot (Apache for "crooked water") is the remnant of a Southern Sinagua village built between 1000 and 1400. It crowns the summit of a long ridge rising 120 feet above the Verde Valley. The original pueblo was two stories high in places, with 87 ground-floor rooms. There were few exterior doors; entry was by ladders through roof openings. The village began as a small cluster of rooms inhabited by some 50 persons for 100 years. In the 1200s the population doubled and then doubled again. (from NPS Brochure)
It's possible that environmental factors influenced the decisions people made to move on in their migrations. The climate was changing in the 1300s; as the Medieval Warm Period ended and the Little Ice Age began, both direct and proxy evidence for climate history indicates that the southwest experienced cooler temperatures and significant droughts. These changes may have been among the signals that it was time for the people in the valley to continue their migrations to the northeast.
After the people departed in the 1300s, the pueblo at Tuzigoot stood above the river for centuries, slowly weathering under the sun and infrequent rains until, by the early 1900s, most of the walls had collapsed. People lived continually in the region throughout those centuries, and no doubt periodically passed by or visited the old pueblo where their ancestors lived. (1)

Sedona / Yavapai County, Arizona
Sedona's main attraction is its array of red sandstone formations. The formations appear to glow in brilliant orange and red when illuminated by the rising or setting sun. The red rocks form a popular backdrop for many activities, ranging from spiritual pursuits to the hundreds of hiking and mountain biking trails.
Sedona was named after Sedona Arabella Miller Schnebly (1877–1950), the wife of Theodore Carlton Schnebly, the city's first postmaster, who was celebrated for her hospitality and industriousness.[4] Her mother, Amanda Miller, claimed to have made the name up because "it sounded pretty

One visiting and one on patrol. Stopped to take a pic of this K-9 unit parked near the new Maricopa County Superior Court building and happened to catch a Phoenix Police car driving by.
Yavapai County, AZ – Our original destination on the trail didn’t agree with the lighting for the time of day. It was a large natural well but unfortunately the sun was too low to see all its glory. So we made the trek back, the sun was low: it gently blinded the eyes and warmed the face from the cold wind. I saw these spires seemingly stretching up looking for attention. Sometimes you must place the camera in nature’s face. As I was taking this shot the wind moved several wild weeds around and slapped me in the arms, legs and face. It was as if nature was giving me hundreds of high fives. Either that or they didn’t want there.
