Pine Donkey Report post Posted October 18, 2019 10 hours ago, Edge said: 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? Warren Earp, killed and buried in Willcox. Mattie Blaylock (Earp) was Wyatt’s common-law wife and often used the Earp name. She is buried in Pinal City AZ near present day Superior. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I forgot about the book until we were unpacking and spotted it. I've re-read it since and it's been really cool to read again with a better understanding of the places mentioned in the book and learning how rugged the terrain really is https://www.amazon.com/Apache-Wars-Geronimo-Captive-American/dp/0770435831 Edited October 18, 2019 by WalkingBird Added link to the book on Amazon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AZ8 Report post Posted October 19, 2019 Man, that picture brings back memories while stopping and exploring the ruins. Listening to dad tell us stories about Canyon Diablo kept us kids occupied as we drove to Flagstaff. I’m sure he embellished some details...haha....but he always had great stories about that place. Good times. Sure miss dad! 😢 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
