Featured in this lot is this original, cabinet card photo of Fort Yuma from across the river, attributed to C.S. Fly in 1885. Camillus “Buck” Sidney Fly (1849-1901), more commonly known simply as “CS Fly,” is most noted for his many photographs during Tombstone, Arizona's wild and wooly days. C. S. Fly was also a witness to the Gunfight at the O. K. Corral as his studio was next door. Fly captured many of the famous faces of the Old West and Indian Country including Wyatt and his brothers Virgil, Morgan and James, Doc Holliday, the McLaury brothers and Billy Clanton in their coffins after the Gunfight at the O. K. Corral, Apache Scouts, and Geronimo. He recognized the value of his photographs to illustrate periodicals of the day and took his camera to the scenes of important events where he recorded them and resold pictures to editors nationwide. This photo shows Fort Yuma from across the river. Fort Yuma was built to protect the Yuma Crossing, a vital and safe place to cross the Colorado River, as part of the United States' effort to facilitate westward expansion and protect the Butterfield Overland Mail route. The fort served as a key military base and river port, supplying other outposts and supporting commerce in the area. Fort Yuma can be seen atop the hill across the river. The railroad bridge, also know as the Yuma Crossing, can be seen in the foreground crossing the Colorado River. The bottom of the photo is marked reaidng, "Fort Yuma, 1885". No other markings are present. The photo shows good condition overall with slight wear present from its age and use over the years, but no signs of damage is noted.
