Description:The emergence of towns on the western frontier was the harbinger of advancing civilization.

Readers will meet such fascinating characters as Jack Swilling, John Alsap, Jesus Otero, and William Hancock. The love story of George and Aggie Loring is timeless. Gunfights and lynching's were a part of town life in early Phoenix. From the merchants of Washington Street to homesteaders along the canals; from County Sheriffs to the first City Marshal, Enrique Garfias -- this is the story of how Mexican and Anglo settlers created this desert town through persistence, perseverance, sacrifice, hard work, and leadership.Patterns established in those early years are still with us today. The original Phoenix Townsite is the core of downtown Phoenix. Street grid patterns dominate the region's landscape.
