| Description |
Lee's Ferry Northern gateway to Arizona for 54 years - from 1873 to 1927 - is located six miles upstream from this bridge. This monument erected to the founder John Doyle Lee who, with superhuman effort and int he face of almost insurmountable obstacles maintained this ferry which made possible the colonization of Arizona. Frontiersman, Trail Blazer, Builder, A man of great faith, sound judgement, and indomitable courage Authority for erection of this monument granted by the state of Arizona 1961 John Doyle Lee (September 12, 1812 – March 23, 1877) was a prominent early Latter-day Saint (LDS or Mormon) who was executed for his role in the Mountain Meadows massacre. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_D._Lee 28 Dec 2010 I found the book John Doyle Lee: Zealot, Pioneer Builder, Scapegoat by Juanita Brooks who also wrote Brooks' notable books on Mormon history include The Mountain Meadows Massacre (1950). Brooks' book on the Mountain Meadows Massacre broke new ground. It was the first comprehensive account of the incident using modern historical methods. I would recommend Quicksand and cactus: A memoir of the southern Mormon frontier an autobiography by Juanita Brooks We stopped at Navajo Bridge which crosses the Colorado River at Marble Canyon near Lee's Ferry. This is an interesting site, you can walk across the original bridge. Before the first bridge was completed in 1929, the only river crossing from Arizona to Utah was at Lee's Ferry gc 510 |
