In 1857....
Lt. Edward Beale, hired to survey an immigrant road in 1857 from Fort Smith, Ark., to the Colorado River, established Fort Mojave near the present site of Bullhead City. Pioneers en route to California sought the fort's protection.
Beale tested a caravan of 28 camels for the war department while stationed at Fort Mojave. His trusted assistant was Hi-Jolly, a trained camel driver from Asia Minor. For a while camels delivered the mail throughout what is now Mojave County.
The growing population of whites in the tri-state area, drove the mojave Indians further into extreme Southern Nevada. The present day boundary of the Fort Mojave Indian Reservation is several miles south of Laughlin.
