Synopsis

Explore Arizona's early frontier years, from Rusling's reports to the rise of Phoenix and the Salt River Valley. In this volume, the 1867–1868 era comes alive through documentary detail and veteran insights, revealing the challenges and hopes of settler life.

History of Arizona, Volume VI surveys the difficult conditions and rapid changes that shaped the territory's first communities. It chronicles transportation hurdles, exorbitant freight costs, and the push to open a Gulf port at Libertad to speed supplies. The narrative moves through the Salt River Valley, tracing the Swilling Party, the organization of canal companies, and the first steps toward farming and town building in Phoenix, Tempe, and Hayden’s Ferry. Biographies and anecdotes illuminate the people who named places, built mills and stores, and laid the groundwork for civic life.

Readers will gain a clear picture of how irrigation, land claims, and early politics affected growth. The work ties together the physical layout of townsites, the creation of schools and courts, and the emergence of commercial centers from modest adobe buildings to early modern blocks. It also highlights the sense of community that formed as pioneers exchanged stories, faced attacks, and advanced hopeful plans for a thriving Arizona.

• Understand the economic and logistical forces shaping 1867–1868 Arizona, including freight routes and costs.


• See how Phoenix and nearby towns began, with early streets, mills, stores, and the first county institutions.


• Meet the settlers, merchants, builders, and surveyors whose efforts created towns and canals.


• Learn about irrigation, land claims, and the formation of ditch companies that supported farming.

Ideal for readers of Arizona history and local settlers seeking a ground-level view of its origins.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
