Camp Cady (1860-1871)
Camp Cady was located in the Mojave Road, which connected Los
Angeles to Albuquerque. Non-indian travel on this and the nearby
Sale Lake Road was beset by Paiutes, Mohaves, and Chemehuevis
defending their homeland. To protect both roads, Camp Cady was
established by U. S. Dragoons in 1860. The main building was a
stout mud redoubt. Improved camp structures were built 1/2 mile
west in 1868. After peace was achieved, the military withdrew in
1871. This protection provided by Camp Cady enabled travelers,
merchandise, and mail using both roads to boost California's
economy and growth.
