Building a State in Apache Land

by Charles Poston

''Building a State in Apache Land'' by Charles D. Poston offers a personal account of the historical development of Arizona Territory in the mid-19th century. Through a collection of articles originally published in the Overland Monthly magazine, Poston details his experiences and contributions to the shaping of the region following its cession from Mexico to the United States. The book provides valuable insights into the complexities of frontier life, interactions with Native American tribes, and the political struggles surrounding the establishment of Arizona as a distinct American territory. Readers gain a unique perspective on the challenges and triumphs of a region undergoing rapid transformation and the individuals who played a key role in its early history.
