A Ona Governor's Day Schedule of Events A ONA GOVERNOR'S DAY SCHEDULE OF EVENTS 25 June 1966 0930 Assembly of Distinguished Guests at Fort Huachuca Officers' Club 1030 Parade and Adjutant I s Call for Review; Presentation of Awards 1200 tion at Fort Huachuca Officers' Club June 1966 THE CAPITOL Phoenix Ladies and Gentlemen: At the mid-point in the Sunnner Field Training of our Arizona Army National Guard, you and I are here today to join in the Military Pageantry, Though the time be festive, let us not forget the seriousness of purpose of these citizen soldiers. The sight of a parade, the sound of marching music, the color of a crowd, creates a festive holiday spiriL Though it is a holiday, let us not forget the time these citizen soldiers have devoted to the Guard. Let us not forget the employers of these Guardsmen; in some cases, allowing Guardsmen to participate in Annual Field Training has created a hardship for the employer. Our heartiest: thanks go to these employers for their whole-hearted co-operation. The first citizen soldier concept in Arizona came about in February 1865; over a hundred years ago. Since that time, our Guard has enjoyed a tradition that leaves very little room for addition; and a tradition that, as years go by, ls difficult to uphold. They can count on my support, as I am certain they can count on yours, the citizens of Arizona. Sincerely, ---·, Samuel P. Goddard Governor SPG:lb THE AD-JUTANT C:,Ei--lERAL Ladies and Gent Lemen: It is with joio 1th Governor Goddard in welcoming you to Arizon:.t ':ationaL Cnani Governor's Day 1966.

  • Old West / Wild West Part 3 (Edited from Wikipedia)
    Old West / Wild West Part 3 (Edited from Wikipedia) THE OREGON TRAIL To get to the rich new lands of the West Coast, there were two options: some sailed around the southern tip of South America during a six-month voyage, but 400,000 others walked there on an overland route of more than 2,000 miles; their wagon trains usually left from Missouri. They moved in large groups under an experienced wagonmaster, bringing their clothing, farm supplies, weapons, and animals. These wagon trains followed major rivers, crossed prairies and mountains, and typically ended in Oregon and California. Pioneers generally attempted to complete the journey during a single warm season, usually over the course of six months. By 1836, when the first migrant wagon train was organized in Independence, Missouri, a wagon trail had been cleared to Fort Hall, Idaho. Trails were cleared further and further west, eventually reaching all the way to the Willamette Valley in Oregon. This network of wagon trails leading to the Pacific Northwest was later called the Oregon Trail. The eastern half of the route was also used by travelers on the California Trail (from 1843), Mormon Trail (from 1847), and Bozeman Trail (from 1863) before they turned off to their separate destinations. In the "Wagon Train of 1843", some 700 to 1,000 emigrants headed for Oregon; missionary Marcus Whitman led the wagons on the last leg. In 1846, the Barlow Road was completed around Mount Hood, providing a rough but passable wagon trail from the Missouri River to the Willamette Valley: about 2,000 miles.

  • Lieutenant Faison's Account of the Geronimo Campaign
    Lieutenant Faison’s Account of the Geronimo Campaign By Edward K. Faison Introduction The Sky Islands region of southeastern Arizona and northeastern Sonora consists of 40 wooded mountain ranges scattered in a sea of desert scrub and arid grassland. To the west is the Sonoran Desert. To the east is the Chihuahuan Desert. To the north are the Arizona–New Mexico Mountains, and to the south is the Sierra Madre Occidental Range where elevations rise almost 10,000 feet from canyon floor to forested ridge. This “roughest portion of the continent,” in the words of General George Crook, was the setting of the Apache Wars—an American Indian–US Army conflict (1861–1886) unparalleled in its ferocity, physical demands, and unorthodox tactics. For a young lieutenant raised on North Carolina’s coastal plain and schooled in traditional warfare, Arizona in the 1880s was no ordinary place to embark on a military career.1 From this formative experience came this memoir by Lieutenant Samson L. Faison, which chronicles his eleven months of service in the Southwest during the Geronimo Campaign of 1885–1886. He wrote it in 1898 while serving at West Point as senior instructor of infantry tactics. It was never published.2 Faison’s account begins two days after the May 17, 1885 breakout of Geronimo, Natchez, Nana, and 140 Chiricahua Apache followers from the San Carlos Reservation in Arizona. Along the way, we revisit important milestones such as the death of Captain Emmet Crawford at the hands of Mexican militia, the surrender Faison's 1883 West Point Graduaon Photo conference between Geronimo and General Crook at Cañon de (USMA photo) los Embudos, and Geronimo’s subsequent flight back to Mexico followed by Crook’s resignation.
