Arizona Historical Society Small Manuscript Collection DATE RANGE 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is an active, artificial collection begun circa 1960 in an effort to aggregate historical materials, orphan documents, unpublished works, hard-to-find and out-of- print studies and reports as well as fragmented personal papers into a “ready reference” for researchers.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 The donations came from multiple sources ranging from family histories for class assignments to items purchased from historical document dealers.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. The overall condition of the materials is excellent and most fragile materials have been copied for researcher use.

  • The Faces of Post 41
    THE FACES OF POST 41 South Phoenix Latinos fight for their country abroad, battle for their civil rights at home Part I: Setting the stage By Charles H. Sanderson Setting the Stage 1 The Faces of Post 41: Setting the stage Anglo arrival “Any city however small, is in fact divided into two, one the city of the poor, the other of the rich. These are at war with one another.” – Plato, Greek philosopher othing begins out of a vacuum in society. Events build slowly into the Nnext defining moment. The formation of American Legion Post 41 is no different. Its existence, its purpose and its fight against segregation; these all existed because of the early storyline that formed the U.S. territory of Arizona, and later, the state. In 1861, a majority of Anglo settlers to reach the region were military men sent to protect mining interests against Apache raiding parties.1 Mexican families were also migrating north into the central valleys of Arizona from Tucson and northern Sonora throughout the 1850s and 1860s to set up farms and cattle ranches.2 Then, almost as soon as it had been obtained by the U.S., the region was left to fend for itself. As the Civil War detonated in April 1861, troops began to pull to the east for battle, under orders from President Abraham Lincoln. Apache Indians increased their attacks on vulnerable new settlements, ranches and mining operations across the upper Sonoran Desert, momentarily spurred in the belief they had caused the military departure.3 Arizona was then part of New Mexico, but too isolated to depend on its cities for protection.
