Note that this Mapquest map uses modern highways for that route. In 1889 it was all by railroad so the routes would be slightly different. However, you definitely get the picture from this map.
The blog's purpose is to help John Parsons prepare to eventually write a story about the Canyon Diablo Train Robbery that took place March 20, 1889. Please send any commentary about this topic to arizonahistorystories@gmail.com.

The Long Way To Prescott
If you think it was a long and winding trail from Cannonville to Milford, check out the long and winding way home to Prescott! That's right, Buckey and posses took the prisoners from Milford to Salt Lake City, Denver, Albuquerque and then across New Mexico and Arizona to Seligman to catch the Prescott & Arizona Central Railroad for the final leg home.
