History[]
By 1912,[1] the local police[2] was represented by a Sheriff.[1] That year, Henry Walton Jones, Senior and his son relocated to the city following Anna's death,[3] taking residence down a street of modest clapboard houses.[4] Junior enrolled in the Boy Scouts of America, who regularly explored the area around the city.[1] Although they had only lived in Utah for a short time, the sun had faded the painted white letters that spelled Jones on the wooden mailbox outside of their home.[5]
In 1914, the local schoolhouse burned down,[3] leading Henry Jones to send Indy to southern France town of Aigues-Mortes under the supervision of Thornton N. Thornton IV, his young assistant professor.[6]
That October, the Joneses returned to Princeton, where Indy attended junior high school.[3]
Behind the scenes[]
Where the Jones residence was located was not identified in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade except that it was in Utah.[1] The Grail Diary replica from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: The Graphic Adventure indicated that the Jones residence was located in Las Mesas, Colorado,[7] before being contradicted by IndianaJones.com and Indiana Jones: The Ultimate Guide which canonized the location as the real city of Moab, Utah.[8][3] This early obsolete information was made perhaps because the real-world house used for the film is actually located in Antonito, Colorado. One way to reconcile the differences is to have the house be located in Utah (Moab area), but the college where Professor Jones worked (Four Corners University) remains in Las Mesas, Colorado.
Young Indiana Jones and the Gypsy Revenge, set in May 1914, revealed that Indy's school in Utah was recently destroyed by fire, not indicating where it was located.[6] The Ultimate Guide confirmed that the school was in Moab.[3]
