Kelly (1874-1948), called "Wild Bill" by his family and friends, was the oldest child and only son of Major George Henderson Kelly. He followed in his father's footsteps as an active newspaperman and Democrat Party member. He was elected to three terms in the Arizona State Senate serving from 1931-33; 1933-35; and 1937-39. The papers in the collection consist of correspondence with colleagues and constituents during his terms as State Senator, reference materials he kept relevant to that office, personal family letters, photographs, notes and manuscripts of family members and his own, the latter in anticipation of writing his autobiography. Major George Henderson Kelly (1854-1929) was a newspaperman, an active Democrat Party member and an historian. Between the years 1887, when he moved his family to Tucson, and 1929 when he died in Phoenix he was involved in the publishing of various state newspapers. He was well known in Democrat Party activities and served as State Historian under Governor George W. P. Hunt in 1923. The papers in this collection reflect his close relationship with Gov. Hunt and other prominent political and social people of this era. Charles L. Rawlins (1875-1954) married Jennie V. Kelly, the daughter of George Henderson Kelly. Rawlins practiced law in Graham County and in Phoenix. The collection contains some of his papers dating form 1918 to 1928. Arizona Historical Society at Papago Park, 1300 N.

    The Birth of Arizona

    RIZO A THE BIRTH OF ARIZONA THE BABY STATE Bt J. MORRIS RICHARDS ARIZONA STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Hi PHOENIX, ARIZONA 1940 GEORGE W. P. HUNT, President ARIZONA CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION 132899 PREFACE 40* The story of the Birth of Arizona is told here from the viewpoint of the newspaper men and the political party leaders who were active during the period in which the persistent efforts of Arizonans to obtain state- hood finally bore fruit. Much of the material that can be found in public records purposely has been omitted, particularly statis- tical records and lists of names. The purpose of this little book is to bring to the citizens of Arizona, and others, a rather complete story of that period in the history of the state which began when Congress and the President acted to admit Arizona and New Mexico into the Union. It closes with the es- tablishment, through the inauguration of the first state officials, of Arizona as the Baby State. Grateful acknowledgment is made to the many news- papers still published in Arizona for the quotations from their files. Appreciation is expressed to Mulford Winsor, state librarian, for permission to use the files of the library and for his criticism and verification of much of the material contained herein. Thanks are given, too, to Mr. Hilliard Brooke for his evaluation of the manu- script, and to Miss Margaret Bouck for her part in its preparation for the printer. Special thanks are given to Aloa Dixon Richards, my wife, for her assistance while the material was in proof form.

For more information on this plan, contact: DEMA Planning Branch [email protected] 602-464-6518 The 2018 State of Arizona Hazard Mitigation Plan is located at: https://dema.az.gov/emergency-management/preparedness/planning-branch 2018 State of Arizona Hazard Mitigation Plan EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Natural and human-caused disasters have led to increasing levels of death, injury, property damage, and interruption of business and government services. The time, money, and effort to respond to and recover from these disasters divert public resources and attention from other important programs and problems. Arizona recognizes the consequences of disasters and the critical need to reduce the impacts of natural and human-caused hazards. It is understood that with careful selection, mitigation measures in the form of education, structural projects, and programs can become long-term, cost effective means for reducing the impact of natural and human-caused hazards. The State of Arizona Hazard Mitigation Planning Team (the Planning Team) has collaborated to prepare the 2018 State of Arizona Hazard Mitigation Plan (the Plan). With the support of the State of Arizona and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), this Plan has resulted in a resource to guide the state toward greater disaster resistance in full harmony with the needs of the region. Arizona’s hazards have the potential to cause widespread loss of life and damage to property, infrastructure, the economy, and the environment.

    TITLE: Arizona Historical Society Small Manuscript Collection DATE RANGE: 1776-2020 CALL NUMBER: PP MSM 1 – 1492 PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: 70 linear feet (146 boxes) PROVENANCE: Multiple donors COPYRIGHT: Unknown RESTRICTIONS: None CREDIT LINE: Small Manuscript Collection, MSM # and folder number, Arizona Historical Society-Papago Park PROCESSED BY: Paul Hollmann, March 2010; Michelle Bickert, September 2012; updated February 2017; updated August 2020 SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE: The Small Manuscript collection is an active, artificial collection begun circa 1960 in an effort to aggregate historical materials, orphan documents, unpublished works, hard-to-find and out-of- print studies and reports as well as fragmented personal papers into a “ready reference” for researchers. The Small Manuscripts Collection, donated in 2012 to the Arizona Historical Society by the Arizona Historical Foundation, comprise the core of this collection. The AHS vertical files in Tempe were then integrated within Small Manuscripts. The materials in this collection are fragmentary and of insufficient quantity (less than one document box or .5 linear feet) to merit a stand-alone status. The donations came from multiple sources ranging from family histories for class assignments to items purchased from historical document dealers. The collection includes correspondence, eye witness reports, genealogies, diaries, old newspaper clippings, reminiscences, short stories, early histories of cities and towns, annual reports, small ledgers, and military documents. The criteria used to determine the strengths of this collection were as follows: materials that provide insight into experiences of Arizonans from different perspectives; fresh and unique points of view on events in Arizona history; and materials that represent a continuum of political, cultural and minority experiences.
