These are the upcoming issues of Borderland
Chronicles and a book I'm working on. If you
want to contribute what you know about any of
the project subjects, contact me at:
The Arizona Rangers headquartered in the Arizona
town that most needed them. During 1903-09, that
town was Douglas. An analysis of justice of the
peace records shows why.
The
Underpass
Douglas and the country recovered from the Great
Depression because of federally-funded projects that
put people to work.
Among the Douglas landmarks built in the 1930s was
the underpass.
Women of Douglas
Oh!
the stories some remarkable Douglas women could
tell. Hazel Carter donned a WWI uniform and went to
Europe with her husband. Pancho Villa bounced
Douglas businesswoman Carmen Loftis on his knee when
she was a child. Lizzie Leake walked from Texas to
settle in Douglas.
Book-length biography of B.A. Packard
He
came to Tombstone in 1880, his ranch spanned the
U.S. - Mexico border, and his Douglas bank helped to
finance the Mexican Revolution.
