in 1883, at the age of nineteen, zimmerman and his cousin harry hinde were invited by zimmerman's uncle edmund c. hinde to move to fort smith, arkansas, where hinde lived following his return from the california gold rush. after moving to fort smith, they owned and operated a grocery store from 1883 to 1886. judge isaac parker at this time was in the process of eradicating the brothels, saloons, and outlaws that had taken over fort smith through increased public hangings and stiffer criminal penalties and this general lawless environment made operation of the grocery store difficult. this period in the history of fort smith, arkansas has been memorialized in the novel "true grit", and the two movies it inspired, "true grit" (1969) and "true grit" (2010). the grocery store was a failure, and they were forced to sell the business and return to mount carmel, illinois, but zimmerman remained close to his cousin harry hinde, who later was elected to the missouri house of representatives, operated several businesses, and speculated in real estate. in later years, along with their uncle charles t. hinde, they invested in real estate and mines in new mexico. the new mexico properties only returned modest profits but were kept in the family until the 1950s.
