History of Arizona, Vol. 3 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Explore a detailed slice of Arizona’s frontier story and the making of a territory. This volume recreates how early leaders, settlers, and prospectors shaped Prescott, the capital, and the wider lands that would become the state. Rich with contemporary accounts and official records, it presents the challenges, decisions, and daily life of a territory at the edge of the frontier.

Two sections recount the era’s key themes: the push to establish governance and infrastructure, and the dramatic impact of mining, defense, and Indian relations on a growing community. Readers will encounter the people, places, and events that defined early Arizona, from capital selections to town development, law, and social life, all grounded in historical documents and firsthand descriptions.

• How Prescott was chosen, laid out, and sold as a town in a dangerous, rapidly changing landscape


• Incisive notes on governance, territorial milestones, and the people who built early institutions


• Accounts of mining discoveries, military expeditions, and frontier security


• Descriptions of daily life, including first schools, saloons, and community events
