Arizona History

Apache Pass * Dragon Spring * The Devil's Highway * Oatman Flat * Morgan's Ferry * Whitlow's Crossing * The Butterfield Overland Trail * Filibuster Camp * Fort Misery * Brunckow Mine * Soldier Holes * Adamsville * Maricopa Wells * Fort Moroni * Berado's Station * General Cook Wagon Road To western historians and lovers of the Old West, these places are deeply fascinating. Where there was only virgin wilderness, where there was no touch of the hand of man, some hardy forebear made an outpost of civilization in a new land. We want to know who they were, why they came, what their life was like, why they left. What people of history, famous or notorious, prominent or obscure, may have dwelled there or passed by? Even in these late days we yearn to reach out and touch it, see it, be a part of it ourselves. Their place names are touched with romance - camp, well, pass, spring, flat, station - from the nation's western heritage in which Americans still have a deep interest. There are no more of them; words like subdivision, condominium, apartment, and suburb can never replace them. To read these stories is to discover a past which many have never heard. -- from book's back cover
