Microfilm of a typescript autobiography by George Thomas Rogers, written at Joseph City, Arizona, in 1950. Rogers recalls his birth in Utah and childhood in Arizona, including at St. Joseph, Show Low (where he was rescued after falling in a well), Lot Smith's United Order, and Flagstaff. He describes goings on at a log saloon in New Town, Arizona (including a tale of how Flagstaff got its name), living on the San Francisco Mountains in Arizona, spending winters in Utah, working for the Babbitts Brothers grocers in Flagstaff, and being whipped by other children in school for being a Mormon. He later recalls his marriages and the births of his children, as well as mentioning his work on the Hopi Indian mission.
