    About this ebook

    There isn't much left to tell about Arizona. Its ancient times have been probed and recorded and the oldest legends and stories have been recounted and pictured many times. Relics of its past are displayed in many places. Nothing of its founding time is untold, I guess, except stories in the minds and hearts of Arizona people, like me.
    My story isn't much of a story, at that. It's just the everyday happenings that I remember from my time when I was a nester's kid in southern Arizona near the Mexican border. That time wasn't THE founding time, but it was a KIND of founding time, because it started the year the Arizona Territory became a state - the year of 1912. The Indians and the open range were under government control and it was the homesteaders' turn to have their time.

    Bruce Neil Bye

    Most of my memories of Arizona have to do with my folks, especially my parents, so to make the happenings better understood I'll fill in some background and description. It was a common thing to think of the men in a family as being first in scratching order, so I'll begin with Grandpa Beals, my mother's father. Her parents were the ones most involved in our family venture in homesteading.
