John William Jack Swilling established mines, built roads and laid out cities until he was falsely accused of a stagecoach robbery. He was tried and released, arrested, taken to another jurisdiction, and tried again. He languished in Yuma's county jail until he died a horrible death three weeks before the guilty party was captured. His burial was attended by few, and he was soon nearly forgotten - until now. This is the life story of Arizona pioneer Jack Swilling.
