Inhaltsangabe

Building A State In Apache Land is a historical non-fiction book written by Charles D. Poston. The book chronicles the establishment of the Arizona Territory in the mid-19th century and the challenges faced by the early settlers in the region. The author focuses on the efforts of his own role in the creation of the territory, as he was instrumental in persuading the United States government to recognize the need for a separate Arizona Territory. Poston provides a detailed account of the conflicts between the settlers and the Apache tribes, who were the original inhabitants of the land. He also describes the political and economic struggles faced by the early settlers, including the difficulties in establishing a stable government and economy. Throughout the book, Poston provides insights into the personalities and motivations of the key players in the formation of the Arizona Territory, including himself, the Apache leaders, and the federal officials involved in the process. The author also includes anecdotes and personal stories that add depth and richness to the historical narrative. Overall, Building A State In Apache Land is a fascinating and informative account of the early days of Arizona Territory, and the challenges faced by those who sought to build a new state in a harsh and unforgiving environment. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the American West, the struggles of early settlers, and the complex relationships between indigenous peoples and European colonizers.Gabilonda, who was the only Mexican officer who protested against the massacre, came very near being mobbed by Americans in Tucson, although he was perfectly innocent of any crime, --on the contrary, deserved credit for his humanity in rescuing the boy Evans. Gabilonda was subsequently tried by a Mexican court martial organized by Pesquiera, the Governor of Sonora, and acquitted. He lived to a green old age as Collector of Mexican customs on the boundary line, and died honored and respected.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
