They followed their dream—the pioneers in Arizona Territory—and persevered in spite of rustlers, droughts, Apaches, and straying husbands.
One Hundred Sixty Acres of Dirt tells the tales of remarkable people—farmers, cowboys, pioneer women and schoolmarms and their journey dealing with rustlers, droughts, Apaches, and straying husbands. It is the story of how they persevered and survived.
It was their dream to own their own land. The pioneer families traveled a thousand miles to claim their homesteads in Arizona Territory. It is a beautiful country, but a tough life. Those who persevered met the challenges, raised their families, and prospered. Their determination was inspiring. They were strong and they left a legacy of courage. The histories came from personal journals and scrapbooks.
