Building a State in Apache Land

Building A State In Apache Land is a historical book written by Charles D. Poston. The book chronicles the establishment of the Arizona Territory in the late 19th century, particularly the efforts of Poston to create a viable government in the region. The book also delves into the complex relationships between the indigenous Apache people, Mexican settlers, and white Americans who were all vying for control of the area. Poston's experiences as an early pioneer in the region are recounted in detail, including his interactions with famous figures such as Kit Carson and Geronimo. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the challenges faced by those who sought to build a new society in a rugged and contested landscape. Overall, Building A State In Apache Land is a compelling historical account that sheds light on a little-known chapter of American history.Gabilonda, who was the only Mexican officer who protested against the massacre, came very near being mobbed by Americans in Tucson, although he was perfectly innocent of any crime, --on the contrary, deserved credit for his humanity in rescuing the boy Evans. Gabilonda was subsequently tried by a Mexican court martial organized by Pesquiera, the Governor of Sonora, and acquitted. He lived to a green old age as Collector of Mexican customs on the boundary line, and died honored and respected.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
