TUCSON IN THE PAST.


[A HISTORICAL SKETCH.]


TUCSON is the second oldest town in the. United States ; Santa Fe, New Mexico, being the first, and St. Augustine, Florida, the-third. Tucson was first settled by the Spaniards, in 1560, by the construction of a presidio or fortification, as a strong outpost to protect the industrial operations of the colony at San Xavier.


Arizona came into possession of the United States by the Gadsden Purchase in 1854. The Americans who were here at that time, and who were instrumental in the acquisition, came here under employment of Governor Manuel Gandara, of Sonora, and were engaged in superintending the sheep ranches and in building houses for the Mexicans, who were at work manufacturing blankets by hand. These pioneers were John W. Davis, John Clarke, Dr. Colton, and a few others. The first general immigration of Americans was in 1856-'58, among whom were Major Mark Aldrich, (deceased), Col. James Douglas, (deceased), C. C. Dodson, (now residing at Florence), Sol. Warner, Asa Mckenzie, (deceased), Fred. Neville, (deceased), Alfred Fryer, (now of Texas), Rich- ard M. Doss, (deceased), Hon. G. H. Oury, Col. Charles D. Poston, Theodore Morhmar, (deceased), Herman Ehren- berg, (deceased), Thomas Smith, (deceased), Hon. Wm. S. Oury, Hon. Esteven Ochoa, - Mercer, Collector of Cus- toms, F. G. Ake, the Pennington family, (all deceased, except a son living in Texas, and a daughter, the wife of W. F. Scott, of Tucson, General Wadsworth, (deceased), Samuel Wise, Peter Kitchen, Bill Kirtland, Tom Page, Dr. C.", H. Lord, W. W. Williams, Peter R. Brady, (now of Florence), Wm. H. Bailey, Hon. Hiram S. Stevens, Sylvester Mowry, (deceased), Samuel Hughes, A. Lazard, Dr. Hughes, Col. Ed. Cross, (de- ceased), Col. Solon H. Lathrop, C. H. Meyer, John Wright- man, (deceased), John G. Capron, (deceased), and Joseph Cum- mings. Many of these have since become distinguished men-

in the civil war, in public life, and as wealthy and honored citizens. Many lost their lives in hardy and desperate en- counters with the Indians, while rescuing captives or defend- ing their own homes, or the homes of each other. The record of those days of peril cannot be written-they are lost in the oblivion that then surrounded this border land; but we know enough of those times to compare the fortitude and bravery of the settlers with any heroism of any age in the world's history.


In 1858 John Wrightson brought the first printing press to this region, and the Weekly Arizonian was established at Tubac, with Ed. Cross as editor. A duel was fought over this press between Mr. Cross and Sylvester Mowry, after which it became the property of Mr. Mowry and W. S. Oury, who changed it to a Democratic sheet. This press is now in Tombstone, and was, until recently, used in publishing the Nugget, of that city.


W. S. Oury has been four years Sheriff of this county ("73 to '77), also a member of the Board of Supervisors, and sub- sequently Clerk of the same.


Concerning Mr. Oury, and connected with this whole sub- ject, we give the following speech of that gentleman, delivered by him at the railroad celebration, in March, 1880, in response to the toast "The Pioneers :"


" The word pioneer brings to my mind scenes and reminis- cences spanning almost half a century, inseparably linked with friendships so dear, companionships so unselfish, and ties so binding, that death alone can sunder them. Born in one of the oldest States of the American Union, reared amid culture and Christianity, with habits and inclinations eminently fitted for social life, at the very dawn of manhood, as if impelled by the invisible hand of destiny, I was drawn by a force abso- lutely irresistible to the frontier, and the year 1835 found me linked to the destinies of the Lone Star Republic; to her service, in the companionship of such heroes as Crockett, Fan- nin, Milam, Bowie, Burleson, Johnson, Houston, Travis, and a whole host such as the world has seldom known, the best years of my young life were freely given. For thirteen years on the frontier of Texas, and ending with the termination of the Mexican War, my only friends and associates were frontiers- men, who carried their lives, as it were, in their hands, ever ready to surrender them at their country's call. At the com -.

mencement of 1849 the marvellous tales of the golden wealth of California reached the Atlantic coast, and spread with the rapidity of lightning through the whole land, and again the services of the pioneer were needed. How well and truly they performed their duty to the Golden State many who now surround me are living witnesses.


" Again, in 1856, after the purchase of this Territory from Mexico, and when California no longer required their services, a noble band of pioneers, disregarding every obstacle of sand desert, alkali plain, and murderous Apache, marched to Ari- zona. The best evidence of their duty fully discharged here is the scene which we have all witnessed to-day. Those who are now alive of that brave and generous host may be num- bered without exhausting the fingers of both hands, and the history of those who have crossed over the dark river may be summed up in these few sad words : Their bones are scattered like mile-stones along the course of the S. P. R. R., from the western to the eastern boundary of Arizona."


Hon. Hiram S. Stevens was first sent to Congress in 1875, and has served two terms.


P. R. Tully, who settled in New Mexico in 1846 and came to Arizona in 1865, has served the public in many useful capac- ities, and otherwise been distinguished for his charities and conspicuous encouragement of our educational interests.


Dr. Lord has become prominent. as a public man, and has given his energies and resources to the creation and care of many important enterprises.


In 1860 a Provisional Government was organized to force Congress to recognize the Gadsden Purchase as a distinct Terri- tory. A convention for this purpose was held in Tucson, com- posed of delegates from the entire district, which at that time included the Rio Grande country. General Wadsworth was President of that convention, which chose L. A. Owens (now of Texas) as Provisional Governor, Ignacio Orrantia as Lieu- tenant-Governor, Samuel H. Cousins as Territorial Secretary, and General Wadsworth as Commander of the Militia (upon his staff were Colonel W. S. Oury and Colonel John G. Cap- ron. From this Provisional Government a Delegate-Hon. Sylvester Mowry-was sent to Congress to urge the immediate separation of this region from the Territory of New Mexico. In this effort. Mr. Mowry was not successful, on account of the

approaching civil war and the extraordinary events then take ing place at Washington.


During the war Tucson was occupied alternately by both Confederate and Union forces. In 1862 this Territory, being left exposed by the Federal Government, a company of Confederates (a portion of Colonel Bailey's command on the Rio Grande at Messillo), arrived here under command of Captain Hunter and took possession, holding the place until the arrival of the famous California column, under General Carleton, in the same year. As the California troops approached, Captain Hunter boldly advanced to meet them. The two forces met some forty miles west of Tucson, near a noted landmark of mountains called Pecacho, where a pitched battle took place, resulting in a victory for the Union arms. The Californians made the first attack, and during the engagement lost several men and one commissioned officer. The Confederates re- treated, and withdrew to the Rio Grande, and from thence the entire Confederate force under General Sibley retreated into Texas. Colonel James H. Toole, Major S. R. De Long and Captain G. C. Smith, now leading citizens here, were officers in the California column at the time of this engagement.


In 1863 the Territory was first organized, the President ap- pointing John N. Goodwin as Governor; R. C. McCormick, Territorial Secretary ; - Turner, Chief Justice ; Allyn and Howell, Associate Justices. During 1863 and since that time, the Zechendorfs, W. C. Davis, Joe Goldtree, Judge Osborn Alex. Levin, E. N. Fish, I. S. Fried, Albert Steinfeld, John S. Carr, L. Meyer & Brother, J. J. Hamberg, R. N. Leatherwood. J. M. Berger, J. N. Mason, Hereford & Zabriskie, Judge J. S. Wood, Leo Goldschmidt, Wm. A. Scott, Jr., the Jacobs family, J. S. Mansfeld, E. F. Colton, M. G. Samaniego, Chas. A. Shibell, Chas. R. Drake, C. T. Etchells, Theo.

Buckalew, the Charouleau Brothers, Marcus Katz, Handy & Holbrook, Farley & Pomroy, " Pant" (Sabbe Pant ?), John Wasson, J. M. Soto, Alexander Campbell, Marcus Foster, Colonel F.

Thompson, W. Earll, R. C. Brown, and a host of others who are now our leading citizens, came and cast their destinies with the destiny of Tucson.

TUCSON DIRECTORY. .


All those of ancient or recent times who have shared in the administration of local affairs, have conducted them in the most economical and creditable manner. They have builded a city without entailing burdensome debts, and generously given their labors for the benefit of those who are to come hereafter to make their homes with us.


TUCSON OF THE PRESENT.


[A PLAIN VIEW.]


The city has an estimated population of 10,000 souls, mostly Mexican and English speaking people. Besides this large num- ber, there is a constant flow of floating population, who come and go hence, and another class of semi-citizens, who come in from the surrounding mountains periodically, and make this place their point of connection with civilization for a few weeks at a time. The population maintains as good order as in any other city of equal size in the United States, and our leading. citizens take a justifiable pride in the advancement of every legitimate public interest.


The stranger who arrives and takes his week of observation on the streets is apt to remain in ignorance of the fact that Tucson has a well defined stratification of good society. Therein he would be in error, for it is well known that ladies and gentlemen reside here, who were the recognized ornaments and leaders in the best society of their former places of resi- dence; and with this class, as a natural consequence, all the usages of culture and refinement are in common practice. In matters of dress, the formalities of calls, the selections for balls and private parties, in general social intercourse, in the quality of manners and respectability, the best society of no eastern city can excel the better class of society in Tucson. The churches and societies add greatly to the moral tone of the city.


To-day real estate is upon the verge of doubling in value. New and costly residences have recently been erected, and others are projected. New structures are being built in all


14


TUCSON DIRECTORY.


parts of the city, and in the very face of a"doubling popula- tion, the induction of water and gas, the construction of street railroads, and the demand for ground for the construction of tenements, we confidently assert that the present low prices of city lots cannot long continue.


TUCSON IN THE FUTURE.


[A HOROSCOPE.]


Since the beginning of authentic history, we know that the impulse to move westward has caused the human family to constantly migrate towards the setting sun. Westward, for 400 years has the population moved across the continent. In the thoughts and plans of the inhabitants of Europe is yet the paramount idea of migrating hither. In the calculations and combinations for the future that enter into the buoyant hopes of the young men living eastward of the Mississippi, even to this day, is the overruling one of a movement, at some time in their lives to the historic, the adventurous frontier. The great wave of this immigration will ultimately sweep over Arizona, New Mexico and Sonora-the new West-the only West that is now left for mankind. Not only will it come by this inborn impulse from the East, but it will sweep hither from the Pacific Coast, thus concentrating the entire energies of the East and the West in building up a large city here, at the natural metropolis of all this region, and developing the mining industry, now in its infancy. Tucson is the only city of importance between Los Angeles, in California, and San Antonio, in Texas. She occupies a geographical situation which will draw to her all that can be drawn from this vast area, to found a substantial American city


The men who have cast their destinies with Tucson, who have watched and assisted her various stages of advancement, and who have grown wealthy here, are still the guardians of her destiny, and will use their means and abilities to see that she does become as great, as prosperous and as beautiful as both natural and human resources can make her.


15


TUCSON DIRECTORY.


The merchant kings of Tucson whose separate merchandise palaces cover large tracts of ground, by the growth of their trade from lesser beginnings, know that Tucson has a solid bottom and reliable indications of a great future.


In a little time the introduction of abundant water will make this city cheerful with verdure, and blossom as the rose. Then will the broad streets of the future commence to be inhabited and the new city of Tucson will become a fixed fact. At the next session of the Legislature, the Capital may at last be located where it properly belongs, here in the centre of population. The time is coming when we may ride along in street cars past elegant homes, from the S. P. R. R. depot to Silver Lake. In time, by the more economical distribution of water, a large area of land will be brought under cultivation in the Santa Cruz valley, and by means of wells and reservoirs on the mesa lands, much will be added to the agricultural land in this vicinity.


Another railroad southward may ere long bring us into quicker communication with the frontier of Mexico, and rail- road communication will soon be open to the valley of the lower Mississippi, from whence we will be able to derive new commercial resources. Tucson has vitality derived from its sub- stantial growth in the past; it has a solid foundation from its resources of trade, mining and stock raising, all in activity and rapid advancement ; and it has the very brightest hopes dawning in the prospects for the immediate future.

During 1871 inquiry was made by the Council concerning a Congressional donation in 1864 of land for a town site, and it was discovered that although such a donation had been made, it had lapsed, because Tucson had neglected to make it avail- able.


During 1872 the sum of $1,600 was paid the Government for U. S. patent to two sections of land for the town site of Tucson, and in August of this year, the village authorities commenced to issue deeds to purchasers of lots, and to donate land for school and church purposes.
