Arizona In The '50s
by
Betty Barr
Arizona in the '50s was
first published in 1953, but
has been out of print for more than 50 years. It was written in 1880 by
Capt.
Tevis but not published then because the Pennington daughter who was
captured
by the Apaches married a Tucson judge and was so traumatized by the
ordeal that
the judge extracted a promise from Tevis that he wouldn’t publish the
story
during her lifetime. She outlived him. Tevis’ daughters finally got it
ready
for publication in ’52, many years after his death.
The revised edition co-edited
by Betty Barr and Dr. William
J. Kelly is now available. Maps, period photos, endnotes, and an index,
as well
as new information, were added to the original.
It took Sonoita resident and
author Barr and Dr. Kelly 10
years off and on to finish the revised edition, working from original
hand-written notes.
If you love the history of
southeast Arizona this is a must
have book.
