Description
Photograph of a view of a prison on the Colorado River, taken from the "Great Dredge" steamboat at Yuma, Arizona, ca.1890-1920. What appears to be a wooden docking area sits by the coast, where a multitude of people appear beneath the shade of several trees. In the background, a few houses stand behind a tall stone wall, while the large body of water completely dominates the foreground.
