A friend recommended Guidon Books in Scottsdale for AZ historical books. I took the first hit today, a pictoral and narrative history of the Tewksbury / Graham Fued. Signed, numbered, limited edition. This is going to be tough on my financial health.
If anyone sees a book on Globe, by Clara Woody let me know? Scarce as hen's teeth, and very well written. I've read it but it wasn't mine to keep. _________________ The bear went over the mountain to see what he could see. |

Guidon is a great shop! I work just up the street from there, it's a cool place to go browse the shelves during lunch. The Antiquarian is another great book shop in Scottsdale. _________________ [/size] |

Tewksbury and Graham.... wasnt that the Pleasant Valley war? |
Yes it was. During the latter 1880's. Some say a standard sheepmen against cattlemen war. Ending, if I remember, sometime in 1891 when a Tewksbury killed the last Graham in present day Tempe. _________________ "Don't complicate what ain't complicated." |

West side of Scottsdale Road, a few blocks north of Indian School. The parking lot is small, so I usually park on 5th ave. The shop is about a block south of 5th Ave. _________________ [/size] |

Shawn-
Cool store, huh? Is that the Don Dedera (former editor at Arizona Highways) book? A little war of our own: The Pleasant Valley feud revisited. If it isn't, find that one as well. Very well-balanced and researched. The Graham/Tewksbury feud has always been a strong draw for me. You'll discover that many of the accounts have a family bias one way, or another.
A couple of years ago, A buddy and I found what was left of the old Tewksbury place near Young. Lots of old stuff lying around and the history of the place felt real. Take care.
