Are you giving God your leftovers? In this soul-searching episode, Jesse Cope challenges us to examine how we allocate our time and what those choices reveal about our true priorities. When we honestly assess the minutes and hours devoted to scrolling, watching sports, or working out compared to our time with God, the results can be uncomfortable—even convicting.With raw honesty, Jesse admits his own struggle with rushing through spiritual disciplines just to check them off a list. "Why in the world would we rush through time with the God of the universe?" he asks. This powerful question opens a deeper exploration into what we truly trust and value in our lives.The podcast moves seamlessly from personal devotion to marital relationships, drawing parallels between how we approach God and how we treat our spouses. Jesse highlights the danger of demanding that our partners fulfill biblical roles while neglecting our own responsibilities—a hypocrisy that has led to countless broken marriages. "If you're not loving your spouse each day," he cautions, "then you don't really love them."The heart of this episode lies in its compelling accounts of Christian martyrs from history. Through the stories of John Hooper and John Bradford, who were executed during "Bloody Mary" Tudor's reign, listeners are reminded of the supreme courage of those who chose death over denying their faith. Jesse's retelling of Bradford's final words before execution—"Brother, be of good comfort, for we shall have a merry supper with the Lord this night"—provides a powerful perspective on what matters most in life.Join the conversation that might just reshape your priorities, strengthen your faith, and inspire you to stand firm in your convictions, regardless of the cost. What would you sacrifice for what you believe?

Arizona Territory, April 30, 1871. The canyon known as Aravaipa lies still in the predawn darkness, the only sounds to be heard in the early-morning calm the song of birds and the lilt of running water as it courses its way toward the nearby San Pedro River. But upon this paradise all hell is about to break loose. With Native American land being squeezed and squeezed by settlers, and relations becoming more and more violent as indigenous customs are degraded and exterminated, things are at breaking point in Arizona. Nearly 500 native men, women, and children have moved into the US military base, Camp Grant, for protection, yet, the Tucson Committee of Public Safety still see them as a threat. Listen as William and Anita are once again joined by Karl Jacoby as they discuss the Camp Grant Massacre and finish the story of 'How the West was Won'.

It's a warm one! We start with Bill Pollifrone telling us about a winter event that happened in Florida a couple weeks ago. Then we transition to Darrin Tenney (Or as the government knows him, John). It's Arizona vintage base ball history time. When his romance started with it and his venomous tenacity at finding out information. He is an author and a guitar player, even though that the audio didn't work on that! And the LEP!
Sarah speaks with Kim Taylor Blakemore about her historical fiction novel, The Deception: "New Hampshire, 1877. Maud Price was once a celebrated child medium, a true believer in lifting the veil between the living and the dead. Now penniless, her guiding spirits gone, the so-called “Maid of Light” is desperate to regain her reputation—but doing so means putting her faith in deceiving others. Clementine Watkins, known in spiritualist circles for her bag of tricks and utmost discretion, creates the sort of theatrics that can fill Maud's parlor again, and with each misdirection, Maud's fame is restored. But her guilt is a heavy burden. And the ruse has become a risk. Others are plotting to expose the fraud, and Clem can't allow anyone—even Maud—to jeopardize the fortune the hoax has made her. When the deception hints at a possible murder, Maud realizes how dangerous a game she's playing. But to return to the light from which she's strayed, she must first survive the darkness created by Clem's smoke and mirrors." They also talk about the first book (writing as K.T. Blakemore) in a new series. The series is Wild-Willed Women of the West and the book is The Good Time Girls: "In 1905 Kansas, ex-dancehall girl and outlaw Ruby Calhoun has settled into a (mostly) quiet and (mostly) lawful life. But out of the blue her past comes hustling into town when her ex-friend and ex-dancehall partner, Pip, shows up with a grim message and dangerous mission: Cullen Wilder, an old enemy with a long memory, wants them dead and the only way to survive is to kill him first. With Cullen's henchman hot on their heels, Ruby and Pip hightail into the hinterlands of Kansas to save another friend from Cullen's vengeance. Unprepared for the journey, their trip is filled with mishaps and mayhem, blunders and bounders, con artists and the circling noose of the law. Through it all, Ruby is tormented by the memories of her life years ago in Arizona Territory, when the upstairs girls at the Paradise Saloon and Dancehall kept her safe, and the dreadful day when it all went wrong. Will Ruby have the guts to face her turbulent past, or will she cut and run like a coward one more time?"

In 1962, while on a year-long break from college, Barry Broman was first shot at in South Vietnam while working as a photographer for the Associated Press. Seven years later, he arrived in I Corps, the northernmost part of South Vietnam, as a Marine infantry officer in Company H, 2nd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment (H/2/5), which was operating in an area known as the Arizona Territory. Not far from the Ho Chi Minh Trail, the Arizona Territory was a vast expanse of villages patently hostile to the Marines of H/2/5 and the South Vietnamese government.

“Very well then–I so declare it.” This is the story of the final “C” of President Theodore Roosevelt's Square Deal: conservationism. Teddy loves the outdoors. He loves to challenge himself in the American wilderness. He also fears the nation's natural resources and various species are disappearing. And TR won't let that stand. From Florida's Pelican Island to the Arizona Territory's extremely large canyon—perhaps “grand,” you might say—and far beyond, TR is out to create bird reserves, national parks, and national monuments that cover some 230 million acres of the United States. But are his actions executive overreach? Or does he not go far enough, as protectionists might argue? From camping with John Muir, to outflanking members of Congress, we're in for a “rough ride” as we follow Teddy on his crusade for conservationism. Learn more about your ad choices.

1882 is the beginning of the decade old war between the Grahams and the Tewksburys families. In Pleasant Valley, Arizona Territory. The Graham's were cattlemen, the Tewksburys were cattlemen turned sheep herders. Open land is just that except sheep who grazed on open land, leave very little if any shrubs and grass for the cows. This 10.51 minute podcast will tell the story of this feud that turned into a full all out war. It will also introduce to the audience Commodore Perry Owen.

For a long time, nobody said anything. They just stood on the bank of the strange new river with the wounded as if the whispering of the water would explain what had happened. All in all, Dance thought, it could have been a whole lot worse and it probably would be before the end. Pete asked, “You want to get up a posse and go after them, Sheriff?”Dance shook his head. “Let’s figure out what we’d be raiding into before we go a-raidin’. Besides, if that boat went upriver, it will come back down. Next time we’ll be ready for target practice. As Dance thumbed rounds into his Winchester the Englishman walked up and stood next to him. Dance looked him over and said, “You got sand, Mister. But if you’re gonna pass the time out West, you best get heeled.”“Archimedes Croryton, but my friend call me Archie,” he said, holding out his hand. “Good for them,” said the Sheriff, “John Dance. What was that you were barking at them?” “Aramaic, Syriac, Latin, some Attic Greek. Anything I could think of really.” “You know what the hell they was?”“Not a clue,” answered Archie. He nodded at the body of an archer floating in the river he said, “But I know how to find out.” And started stripping off his clothes. When he reached his underwear, Archie waded into the river and swam out to the dead archer. His silken garment had billowed out around him, trapping air and giving the corpse buoyancy. Archie grabbed a handful of fabric and dragged the body back ashore. When Archie got to the mud, Dance helped him land his strange fish. As Archie caught his breath, Dance asked, “Anything familiar about this to you?”“I was hoping you would know, you’re the native.” Archie rolled the body over on its back and brushed the mud off the face. The man had a dark, olive complexion with a large, hooked nose and strange characters tattooed on his cheeks. Out of respect, Archie closed his eyes. The man’s silk garments were held at the waist with a thick belt of bronze plates. Archie asked for the Sheriff’s knife and used it to cut the shirt open. It was surprisingly tough. The man’s chest was tattooed in the same diamond pattern as his face. Archie made a close examination of the man’s hands.Dance asked, “Mr. Croryton, how’s a man like you, an educated man, wind up here?”“Sheriff, if you can tell me where here is, I’ll answer your question.”“Hell, you’re in Grantham, Arizona Territory.”Archie said, “Last night, I was reasonably certain that I arrived in Grantham. But now, I am not so sure.”“Fair enough,” said the Sheriff, “What do you make of our guest?”“My guess is this man has done little else in his life but fire a bow.”“Professional military?”“No, I am saying, this man was not merely in the army. His entire body and one might well say his being, has conformed to being an archer.” He gently turned the dead man over in the mud and pointed to the imbalance in the musculature of shoulders and arms. The right arm with a noticeably bigger biceps muscle, the left with a well-defined triceps from extending the bow. And the muscles between the shoulder blades stood out in almost chiseled detail. “He is a professional warrior. Like a Spartan or a Myrmidon.”Dance said, “I ain’t never heard of them, but were they too dumb to duck too?”“Yes, they did not react like men who had ever seen a firearm before. The question is where did they come from?”Dance spit and said, “No idea. Not yet,” as he looked grimly up the river. “Well, then you’ve got bigger questions. Who is this military power on your doorstep?”“Hardly call them military if they don’t have guns.”Archie said, “Did you not see how cool they were under attack? How they continued to nock and fire even as their commander was struck down and their comrades were dying around them?”Dance rubbed his chin. “Yeah, fair point. I was at Shiloh and others besides, and I never saw any company, North or South, that stood that straight under fire.”“Yes, your Civil War was fought by volunteer soldiers. These were warriors,” said Archie as he buttoned his shirt. Dance said, “Maybe he was a rower?” looking for a way out of the mess he was in. “A rower’s back is different,” said Archie. “How do you know that?” Archie removed his shirt once again and turned around. “I rowed crew for Oxford.” He made a rowing motion and Dance could see the imbalance in his musculature and the curve of his spine.“Mostly with the right,” said Dance.Archie flipped his shirt back up and nodded. “This man’s arms are different lengths. His left is shorter than his right. He could have been at Agincourt. But that was 1415. What’s he doing in 1888?”“In America,” added Dance. “I do just wonder about that…” said Archie.Dance bristled. “What do you mean? We took this land from the Mexicans. Maybe not so fair and square, but we signed a treaty on it.” “No, no, it’s not that. Plant whatever flag you like. I care not. What I’m saying is, if a river appeared last night to the West of Town, then what awaits us to the East? Or the North or the South?”They looked at each other for a while in the hopes that somebody would have the answer. Finally, Speedy Pete said, “Mister, you think somebody done stole Mexico?”“You mean since the Spanish?” asked Archie. “Mr. Croryton!” cried a rasping voice, “Whatever are you doing with that corpse? And where did he come from?” Archie looked up and saw Jean DuMont, strutting towards them with the aid of his nurse. Archie straightened up and tugged the bottom of his waistcoat and buttoned his suit jacket in an effort to appear presentable. “I was conducting an examination, of sorts, M. DuMont.”DuMont looked at the river and the fertile plain beyond. “Damned odd, wouldn’t you say, Mr. Croryton. A river from nowhere?”“Yes, sir.”“A lake collapsed in the mountains, you think?” asked DuMont.“Sir, I do not. This mud is of a different composition than your native soil.”“Come now, sir. Mud is mud. We will make advantage of this river and hope it lasts. Construct a silver mill, a ferry for travelers from Bisbee, charing a modest fee of course, but as for the rest… ” He nudged the dead man with his boot and said, “Just another tribe of savages.”“Sir, I must —““I appreciate your excitement, Mr. Croryton, but I am not paying you to examine the savages. Whatever tourism you engage in will be on your own time. I have a mine that is filling with water, and I am paying for you and your marvelous pumping engine to pump them out.”Archie said, “But with this unexpected development. This new… frontier… of possibility…”“The Frontier is not your business. And I assured you all those who come from Bisbee,” he nodded his head and indicated where the road to Bisbee had once been, “will be coming for my silver, not, your corpse. That is, provided the Sheriff here lets them live long enough.”“A man shoots at me, I shoot him back,” said Dance, not looking at DuMont. “I don’t pay you to philosophize, Sheriff.” “That’s O.K. Johnny,” said Dance, “You don’t pay me. The town does.”“I am this town,” said DuMont, as he checked the time on a gold pocket watch. He snapped the watch shut sharply and said, “Mr. Croryton, mining has commenced for the day, and I expect you to do the same. There is much work to be done.”DuMont walked back toward town without waiting for an answer. Giving one last look to the far side of the river, Archie said, “As you say, sir,” and followed his employer. Pete looked at Sheriff Dance. Dance said, “Pete, get on back to the jail and lock yourself in there with young Burdock.”“What are you going to do?” asked Pete.“I’m going see if that John Bull was right.”“About what?” asked Pete.He nodded at the river, “It’s one thing to be faced with the unknown. Another thing to be surrounded by it.” Get full access to Patrick E. McLean at patrickemclean.substack.com/subscribe
110 years ago today, Arizona joined the United States. But it wasn't exactly a smooth process. At the time, the eastern half of the country viewed the Arizona Territory as unruly and not Anglo enough. It took nearly 50 years for the Arizona Territory to become the state of Arizona. In this episode of Valley 101, we dive into the history leading up to Admission Day, and the process of becoming part of the United States.
Prescott's long and storied history has played theater to many interesting characters including lawmen, outlaws, scientists, actors, and more. Many residents have accomplished, or infamously accomplished, incredible feats and have been noted as community, state, and country leaders. Prescott is known as everybody's hometown, and for these famous people, that saying rings a little more true. Rosemary DeCamp Born in Prescott, Arizona Territory in 1910, Rosemary DeCamp was an influential radio, film, and television actress. She appeared in Warner Bros.

Cody and Garth are joined by their friend and mule expert, Jared Wilson, to talk about The Red Ghost. A mysterious creature that terrified the Arizona Territory in the 1880's. An animal of unknown description that may have been the steed of The Devil himself! But why a mule expert? What does any of this have to do with mules?! To answer these questions and unmask the ghost, The Least Haunted crew will need to explore a forgotten chapter of American history, and contend with a powerful livestock lobby... --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
Pleasant Valley in Arizona Territory becomes an ideal place to raise cattle in the late 1870s. But when Apache raids sweep through the area in the early 1880s, neighbors do their best to survive. Two families, the Tewksburys and the Grahams, become friends during the peak of the raids. They help each other grow and prosper, but then their friendship falls apart and their mutual animosity sets the stage for the deadliest feud in the West.

In 1883, Missouri real estate broker James Reavis announced that he held title to a huge tract of land in the Arizona Territory. If certified, the claim would threaten the livelihoods of thousands of residents. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll tell the story of the Baron of Arizona, one of the most audacious frauds in American history. We'll also scrutinize British statues and puzzle over some curious floor numbers. Intro: In 1891, Charles Dodgson wrote a curiously unforthcoming letter to Nellie Bowman. Reputedly the English geologist William Buckland could distinguish a region by the smell of its soil. Sources for our feature on James Reavis: Donald M.

“The fight’s commenced. Go to fighting or get away!” This is the story of more gunslinging and heists. Pearl Hart needs to see her mother; is a stagecoach robbery the answer? The Earps Brothers and Doc Holiday are on the opposite of a political and economic feud with the “Cow Boys” in the mining town of Tombstone, Arizona Territory; are they disarming the “Cow Boys” in accordance with a city ordinance? Or is there more to it? Jesse James is a Civil War bushwhacker; but is it still “bushwacking” if he keeps robbing and killing after the war? Or is he a bandit? Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid are fleeing to South America; but do they die in a shootout? Or will Butch prove he’s still alive by visiting his family in Utah years later? Somewhere between the legends and myths is the truth. Too bad some of it will forever remain elusive. Welcome to the Wild West. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
In honor of Women's History Month, award-winning author and historian Jan Cleere joins Russell and Alan to discuss her new book Military Wives in Arizona Territory: A History of Women Who Shaped the Frontier. Most of these women journeyed from the East and knew little of the hardships and challenges waiting in the Arizona Territory. But these brave, bold women persevered and left a legacy that endures today.
Join Nancy J. Reid and Lisa D. Smith, the mother-daughter travel team and publishers of Big Blend Magazines, for Big Blend Radio’s “Way Back When Military History Monday” Show, featuring Jan Cleere, an acclaimed author, historian, and expert speaker who writes extensively about the desert southwest, particularly the people who first settled the territory. On this episode she discusses her latest book, “Military Wives in Arizona Territory: A History of Women Who Shaped the Frontier.” When the US Army ordered troops into Arizona Territory in the nineteenth century to protect and defend newly established settlements, military men often brought their wives and families, particularly officers who might be stationed in the west for years. These women were bold, brave, and compassionate. They became an integral part of military posts that peppered the West and played an important role in civilizing the untamed frontier. Combining their words with original research and tracing their movements from post to post, “Military Wives in Arizona Territory” is a collection of historical narratives that explores the tragedies and triumphs that early military wives experienced. Featured music is “Mirage” by Michael and Spider.
There is something about the Old West that calls to the American heart. There is something about life on the wild frontier that is still compelling a century and a half later. Maybe its all the Louis L'Amour novels and Clint Eastwood movies that romanticize the cowboy era in popular culture. One legendary town that has become synonymous with the Old West is Tombstone. My guest today is bestselling author Tom Clavin who joins me talk about his book "Tombstone: The Earp Brothers, Doc Holliday, and the Vendetta Ride from Hell." Today Tom and I unpack the story of a frontier boomtown that is so much more than its famous shootout at the O.K. Corral. We discuss the first settlement of Arizona Territory, the lives of the Earp Brothers and Doc Holliday, what frontier law looked like, and how Tombstone was caught up in the transition from the chaotic Old West to the more orderly New West.

Good morning, it's Thursday, December 31st and this is The Herald Review's podcast, the Daily Chirp. We're excited to bring you a closer look at top stories, events in the community, local history, sports, and more. Today - the fight to stop border wall construction continues. But first, a quick message from our sponsor. Before we begin, some local history. In 1847 Edward Lawrence Schieffelin was born. He was a prospector who first discovered silver in the Arizona Territory. His discovery led to the founding of Tombstone. He, his brother, and a mining engineer made a handshake deal that produced millions of dollars in wealth for all three of them. Today's history was brought to you by Benson Hospital. They're doing more than treating illnesses in Benson, they're building a healthier community. Benson Hospital donated rescue inhalers to Cochise County Schools to help keep kids healthy and out of the ER. To learn more, visit their website at bensonhospital.org. Now, our feature story. Environmental, border community and tribal groups have done everything in their power to stop a 30-foot border wall from going up across Arizona's rich, diverse, fragile and remote desert ecosystems. They have yet to prevail. In Cochise County, the San Bernardino Wildlife Refuge and the San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area have been blasted, bulldozed and blocked. Vital water supplies have been diminished. All for what some call President Donald Trump's vanity wall. The San Bernardino Wildlife Refuge or SBWR is known for its rare migrating wildlife. The San Pedro River is a world-renowned birding site. Both have been altered completely by the wall. Massive gates have been installed through washes. Mountains have been blasted. And roads built through remote, pristine lands in the mountains. Conservationist Jose Manuel Perez spoke to CBS News about the issue: Federal courts have agreed with the premise of a number of lawsuits to stop wall building, but they stopped short and permitted the building to continue. One lawsuit to stop the wall due to the misappropriation of funds for areas in Cochise County and other southern Arizona borderlands will now go before the U.S. Supreme Court. Michael Gregory, a longtime champion for the San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area, described the wall as Trump's Mount Rushmore. A monument to his ego and all the hate engineered by his administration. Gregory thinks it should come down. U.S. Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick of Arizona from District 2 said that they pushed back hard against funding for the wall. Here's Kirckpatrick in a plea to direct budgets elsewhere. Kirkpatrick said that Biden could cancel the construction contracts with little loss of funding since the contracts will have been signed so recently and the federal government has wide discretion to cancel contracts. Biden has a lot of flexibility here not to even touch those funds at all. He can also ask Congress to re–allocate those funds to another part of DHS, or get creative with how ‘barrier' is defined, a term not defined in law. Want to stay up to date on what's going on?

Providing physical therapy to the community, ApexNetwork offers a wide range of services including Manual Therapy, Industrial Rehab, Dry Needling, Golf Rehab and more. To learn more, go to ApexNetworkPT.com. After 40 years of coaching, James “‘Bosco” Selchow is retiring. He was hired in 1980, and may be the longest standing coach in the history of Douglas. For the past 31 years has been the head coach of the Douglas High School golf team, but originally coached football and baseball. By Bosco's side, supporting him the entire time is his wife, Jana, who is a retired educator. The couple will be celebrating their 40th anniversary this January. Bosco says he was fortunate to have been able to coach his son Jordan while his daughter, Meghan, was a cheerleader. Now that he has retired from coaching Selchow plans on continuing on playing golf and admits he may attend a high school golf match or two in the coming years. He'll be spending a lot more time with his son and daughter-in-law and their baby and visiting his daughter in Illinois. Finally, today we're remembering the life of Leland P Deal, Jr. of Sierra Vista. Lee served his country with honor in the U.S. Air Force from as an Airman First Class. There he acquired skills that served him well in his 33-year engineering career at Honeywell and Bull Technologies in Glendale. Lee also received a Bachelor of Arts from Ottawa University and a Master of Counseling from University of Phoenix. This career brought him to Sierra Vista and his beloved Huachuca Mountains. Lee eventually opened his private counseling practice in Sierra Vista continuing to do what he loved, helping others until his retirement in 2012. Lee loved touring the National Parks, motorcycle cruising, hiking, bicycling, photography and creating beautiful furnishings. He often spoke joyfully of his adventures such as white-water rafting the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon and hiking it rim to rim. Lee was kind, authentic and had a gentle and unique sense of humor. He will be dearly missed by his family, friends, and everyone who knew him. Thank you for taking a moment today to remember and celebrate his life. Thanks for tuning in to the Herald Review podcast today, join us again on Tuesday!

A calvary officer and his horse make an amazing dash and fight for safety. Surrounded and attacked.... the battle of U.S. Calvary and Apaches at close quarters in Arizona Territory. You'll be amazed at the endurance of man and beast and how tough the men were in the Mad Wild West!
It all started in 1883 in the Arizona Territory, a deadly encounter with an unknown beast. Dubbed The Red Ghost of Arizona, the beast stalks its prey, and its responsible for several attacks.

The Arizona Territory in the 1800's served as a beacon of hope for many who sought to take their place among the wealthy. Hans Von Biermann immigrated to AZ in the 1800’s to find his uncle (the famed Lost Dutchman?) who told him of riches in the Sonoran Desert. However, Hans found neither. His personal journals have been recovered by Bone Haus Brewing who now have the task of telling the stories and drinking the beers of this larger than life figure. Do your part and go check this place out. Enjoy the show!
Ever wonder what actually happened during that infamous “Gunfight at the O.K. Corral” [which seems to pop up in trivia situations a lot more than you’d expect]? Don’t worry, Pardnuh, Julia’s wobblin’ jaw has you covered. We skedaddle over to Tombstone, Arizona to discuss the events of October 26, 1881 at 3:00pm […and you know what that means…].

At the Bookmarks Festival of Books and Authors in Winston-Salem, Charlie talks with Orange Prize winner Téa Obreht, author of The Tiger's Wife, about her acclaimed new novel, Inland. Charlie and Téa talk about the immigrant experience (both in real life and in fiction), the Arizona Territory, magical realism, and Téa's beautiful style of writing.
Obreht made an unforgettable literary debut with The Tiger’s Wife, an international bestseller that won the 2011 Orange Prize and earned her a slot on The New Yorker’s prestigious “20 Under 40” list. Her eagerly awaited second novel unfolds in the drought-ridden lands of the Arizona Territory in 1893. Drawing on little known historical episodes, Obreht follows the intertwined fates of Nora, an intrepid frontierswoman whose husband and older sons have gone in search of water, and Luke, a former outlaw haunted by more than just his past. Richly imagined and vividly told, Obreht’s story recreates the myth of the American West.https://www.politics-prose.com/book/9780812992861Learn more about your ad choices.

In the 1880s, James Addison Reavis attempted the greatest land fraud in American history. In a story that crisscrosses the United States and Mexico, and crosses the ocean to Spain, he tried to convince the U.S. government that he owned 18,000 square miles of the Arizona Territory. In the process, he anointed himself the Baron of Arizona.

Central Connecticut State University history professor Leah Glaser retells the story of Sam Colt’s investment in the Sonora Exploring and Mining Company in the 1850s, a company that was incorporated in Cincinnati, Ohio to exploit silver mines in the new Arizona Territory. Colt never set foot in Arizona but that didn’t mean he didn’t pour energy, money, and firearms into the venture. Unfortunately, the Apache, the Civil War, and myriad other challenges intervened. Still, Colt left an indelible impression on the American West. Recorded February 28, 2017 at the University of Hartford as part of the Presidents’ College and Connecticut Explored’s “Connecticans in the American West” lecture series. Produced by Elizabeth Normen and Patrick O’Sullivan.

The Wild West of Zane Grey and John Wayne movies, with its clear divisions between good guys and bad guys, cowboys and Indians (never called Native Americans in this narrative), bears little resemblance to the brawling, boozy refuge for every Civil War-displaced vagabond, seeker of gold (copper, tin, silver, oil), and would-be financier that once constituted the US frontier. In two novels about Doc Holliday and his friends the Earps, Mary Doria Russell pulls back the curtain to reveal the social, economic, and political divides that in the 1870s and 1880s kept the land beyond the Mississippi a hotbed of lawlessness and vice mixed with occasional acts of heroism. Doc begins the story in Dodge City, Kansas, in 1878. Epitaph: A Novel of the O.K. Corral (Ecco Books, 2015) continues it a few years later in the Arizona Territory, focusing on the events leading up to and the aftermath of the gunfight at the O.K. Corral. Tombstone, Arizona, is an example of everything right and wrong on the frontier. The silver mines have made huge fortunes for the businessmen and speculators who have flocked to town, especially in the aftermath of the Panic of 1873—a recession as, if not more, dramatic than that of 2008. The flood of money into politics has had its usual corrupting effect, and tension is brewing between those from the postbellum South seeking a better future and entrepreneurs arriving from the North. Cattlemen and gamblers, miners and ladies of the evening, thieves and lawmen—Tombstone has them all. So when the Clantons and their friends the McLaurys decide that the Earps and Doc Holliday are the source of their troubles and, after a long night of drinking, set out to even the score, thirty seconds of violence become a touchstone for both sides of what was wrong with the other. But that was not the end of the story. Tombstone had “legs,” as journalists say, becoming a symbol of the Wild West at its wildest. Here, in Epitaph, Mary Doria Russell recovers the story behind and beyond the gunfight, with compassion for those who saw their lives changed by it, whether they stood with the Earps or against them.

Wyatt Earp, The Clanton Brothers, Doc Holiday, The Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, Tombstone, Arizona and the U.S. Marshals Service are woven into the mythology of the American Wild West. Wednesday, June 11, 3 pm ET, The Halli Casser-Jayne Show is taking a look inside America's most storied law enforcement agency with a descendent of Marshall Wyatt Earp, Mike Earp. And we'll be traveling to Tombstone, Arizona, site of the famous Gunfight at the O.K. Corral to talk with some of the current residents of Tombstone talking to men who are keeping the legends of the wild, wild west alive, including Terry “Ike” Clanton, descendant of the Clantons, Kenn Barrett, the former City Marshal and Chief of Police, and Stephen Keith, known all over town as Doc Holliday.In his new book U.S. Marshals, Mike Earp, who retired as the third-highest-ranking official in the service, tells the thrilling inside story of today's U.S. marshals -- America's oldest law enforcement agency, established in 1789 by George Washington. Giving a detailed account of its colorful history, Earp brings the past to the present in a revealing account of what few people realize is a three decades transformation of the entire structure of law enforcement in America.Tombstone, Arizona is a historic western city in Cochise County, Arizona, founded in 1879 by Ed Schieffelin in what was then Pima County, Arizona Territory. It was one of the last wide-open frontier boomtowns in the American Old West and the site of the famous Gunfight at the OK Corral fought October 26, 1881 between the outlaw cowboys Billy Claiborne, Ike and Billy Clanton, and Tom and Frank McLaury, and the opposing town Marshal Virgil Earp and his brothers Assistant Town Marshal Morgan and temporary lawman Wyatt, aided by Doc Holliday designated as a temporary marshal by Virgil. Twenty four seconds and 30 shots later, Billy Clanton, Tom and Frank McLaury were mortally wounded.
In the 1880s, James Reavis launched one of the most ambitious fraud schemes of all time when he claimed a huge part of the Arizona Territory as his own. He forged and planted evidence to back up his claim and came to be called the Baron of Arizona. Here's a link to the show notes.
