  • Early History of Joseph City, Arizona, in connection with the Mormon Settlement of the Little Colorado River Valley [microform] : after 1916

    Early History of Joseph City, Arizona, in connection with the Mormon Settlement of the Little Colorado River Valley [microform] : after 1916

    Manuscripts

    Microfilm typescript of the history of settlements near Joseph City, Arizona, also called the "Little Colorado Mission." The account begins with pre-Mormon (before 1876) history of the area, including Spanish exploration and its early annexation as part of New Mexico. The next section describes Mormon exploration of the area, the first permanent settlements, and the William C. Allen Company that founded Joseph City in 1876. It also includes notes on later arrivals to the settlement through the 1880s. The section on 1876 includes notes on the construction of dams, the raising of crops and the articles of agreement for the irrigation company at Allen's Camp, the importation of mills, and the raising of forts. The 1877 section includes notes on the abandonment of the Obed settlement due to unhealthy swamp conditions, and other settlements founded that year including Taylor, Woodruff, and Forest Dale. The 1878 notes describe names given to various camps, the organization of the Little Colorado Stake, the creation of schools, floods and agriculture, and the creation of the Eastern Arizona Stake of Zion (a division of the Little Colorado). Notes from 1879 include the creation of Apache County, while those from 1881 describe the abandonment of Brigham City, the coming of the railroad, and the establishment of the mail service. The account also describes other settlements in the Little Colorado Stake, including Moan Coppy-Tuba City, Pleasant Valley, Wilford, Heber, Tonto Basin (later Pine), Savoia, Silver Creek-Snowflake, and Eagley. At the end of the typescript are "Copies of Old Manuscripts," including "History of the Little Colorado Mission" probably written by F.G. Neilson, and the United Order Articles of Agreement for Allen's Camp, dated April 15, 1877.

    Recipe miscellany

    Manuscripts

    A collection of remedies, culinary and household recipes, this manuscript volume appears to be a fair copy with later annotations in the hand of Mrs. Holmes (whose name appears on the upper pastedown), dating from the last half of the nineteenth century. The recipes in the volume range from suckling pig and marmalade to furniture oil and the remedies include how to bleach freckles and make a gargle for a sore throat. Also enclosed is a manuscript originally laid into the volume and now placed in a mylar sleeve; it is a recipe for pomatora, from approximately 1675-1725, and on the verso is an autograph note addressed to "Mrs Jobber."
