Catch the Stage to Phoenix

This is the story of the men and women who kept the stages rolling from Prescott to Phoenix, Arizona along both the Wickenburg and Black Canyon routes. Life was never dull for these early pioneers as they confronted Indians, and Sonoran bandits as well as Knights of the Road. This book carries the time line from early trail blazing through Indian depredations, establishment of the stage lines, and attacks by bandits, right up to the stages eventual replacement by trains and motor vehicles.
