The completion of this thesis was greatly aided by the cooperation and interest of the staff of the Arizona Pioneer Historical Society, the State of Arizona Librarian and her librarians, the staff of the Sharlot Hall Museum of Prescott, and several personal interviews with residents of the Prescott - Bradshaw mining areas. It is with regret that I note the death of James Cash, :.... ' • -- . Arizona Pioneer, who contributed so much to the story of Crowned King and the adjacent mining districts as he knew it. Senator Carl Hayden gave materials that were most pertinent to the Walker period. i i ; TABLE OF CONTENTS ■ , '.’■■■ :''-O. Chapter • ■ - ...1.. •; iPa^e I .
