At one time, travelers along the Mojave Road (which is sometimes spelled "Mohave") were in danger of being attacked by hostile Indians. During its heyday, the Road linked Los Angeles with Prescott, AZ. A series of "redoubts" or small forts were built along the Mojave Road in order to house the soldiers who protected the travelers. One of these is Fort Piute, the ruins of which still stand today. I took the following photos about three years ago, during a trip to the fort.
