Summary
[edit].jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | Grand Canyon National Park Historic District: South Rim. Next to Bright Angel Lodge is Buckey O’Neill Cabin. It is the oldest continuously standing structure on the rim. It was built in the 1890’s by William Owen O’Neill. Everyone knew him as “Buckey.” He acquired the name by “bucking the odds” in the card game faro. Buckey O’Neill was born in Missouri and moved to Arizona in 1879. He became an author, journalist, miner, politician, and judge. His prospecting ventures eventually led him to a copper deposit near Anita about 14 miles south of what is now Grand Canyon Village. Like other prospectors who followed him at the Canyon, the cost of shipping the ore kept mining unprofitable. He eventually sold his land to the Santa Fe and Grand Canyon Railway Co., leading the way to train service to the south rim. Buckey O’Neill was elected mayor of Prescott, Arizona and soon volunteered to fight in the Spanish American War. He became one of Teddy Roosevelt’s rough riders and lost his life from sniper fire the day before the assault on San Juan Hill. NPS Photo by Michael Quinn.
