Did you come across my uncle's name, Bernard Gillespie? He was responsible for bringing ditch water to Gila Bend and beyond in the 1920's.

I had that account cited on my phone which crashed. It's available online thru UA History of the SW archives. When I find it I'll pm you a link if you'd like. Great stuff in there.

The Walker party included Swilling and Wickenburg. They left the Black Canyon area to investigate rumors of a rich gold vein in the Harquahala Mtns. From the account I read, I believe Joseph Walker's Diary, they were enroute to the Harquahala's while traveling just west of the Hassayampa R. Wickenburg saw the outcropping from the trail but couldn't convince the others to divert some and investigate. On their way back from the Harquahalas, again Wickenburg urged the men to head the short distance to the quartz location but Swilling and Walker declined saying they were only interested in getting back to the Bradshaws where they knew gold was in abundance. Wickenburg then left Walker and Swilling.

Just the founder of Phoenix, AZ, thank you.

I operated a flour mill with Charles Hayden in Tucson before we both settled in what is now Maricopa County. I used money from my Rich Hill gold finds to start a sprawling farm in the atea where Sky Harbor exists today, yet I appear to be totally forgotten!!! Remains of my ranch house in the area of Gillete, Black Canyon City can still be seen today.

Concerning Phillip Tedro... http://www.the-orange-backpack.com/2012/02/12/hi-jolly/ By coincidence, by maternal grandparents rest beside him...

Ahhh yes. He was suspected.jn a lot of murders of all ethnicity.

Yeah and so far from India, too. You're making me feel old, Geronimo surrendered in my grandfather's lifetime and less than 80 years before I was born

I've made the trek to the Apache Kids grave. It's high in the San Mateo Mtns Wilderness above the ghost town of San Marcial/Ft Craig, NM. The posse that shot up his gang beheaded him rather than carry his body back to town. His head was displayed in a jar in one of San Marcials businesses. Was lost in the flood that buried the town there off I-25.

If memory serves, Warren Earp. Literally brought a knife to a gunfight. He's buried in Wicox but no one knows for certain which grave. Historians think they've narrowed down his plot to be one of four. Who's the other Earp?

You can't even follow a thread. Lol

Wow, your name wasnt mentioned or even thought of. You are quite a piece of work. You must think the world revolves around you. Pity I stand by my statement.

Good thread. Lee. Trivia and AZ history.... Here's another question... There are two Earps of Wyatt's fame buried in AZ. Who are they, where are they buried and how did they die?
