Another great AZAgenda report. A bit of Norton family history to add. Hunt married one of my thousands of cousins. She and their child are buried with him in the mini-pyramid in Papago Park. Being the descendant of a byzantine horde of Mormon pioneer polygamists means that I get to claim [or have to admit] "cousin" status with a remarkable chunk of the Western States' population.
Our family historians tag Hunt with a bit of a notorious history before first moving to Arizona post Civil-War. (Escaping his home town while he could, as some put it.) Born to a family of slavers? Post Civil War atrocities? A previous wife divorced or abandoned? Life in the wild and lawless mountains of what's now Eastern Arizona and Western New Mexico?
I think that the part that's safe to conclude is that surviving the Civil War was almost as hard as surviving the post-Civil War era. If you want to read some of that history, familysearch.org is a treasure trove of historical news reports, journals, photos and diaries.

Really great, especially after listening to the Fontes v Finchem debate last night.
Great story! Thank you for sharing
Fantastic! Love this story
Terrific reporting of history. Elections are always controversial given the stakes and issues. As the Romans would say sic erat omne
Thanks for this bit of history! Will we ever learn from our past?
What great historical reporting. Thanks!
