cubfan64 yes I see your point and it certainly has to be considered. Im not sure I totally agree with you but I don't know the Ely book very well so can't say what all else was right or wrong. i know there are some things in it he got very wrong but that doesn't mean everything else was wrong to. So...

oazarker, I have to disagree with you on some things. Not the research you have done but the way you misrepresent things. You say the request for the directery was denied. no it wasn't, it was given in detail. Meyer city and business directory for 1891. I don't know how it could be more clear than t...

A lot of information to read for sure. Confuseing but in the end I don't think Ely lied as has been said here. He was specific about the location and the location is without doubt 21 E Washengton street on the south side of Washington street. I don't believe anyone ever said Julia Tomas ever owned t...

PBFred, Hooch, Dynamite has been used on the Needle in the past and the 1881 earthquake probably shook some loose rocks down, but all those places show up as new scars on the Needle and change of color in the rock. I don't quite understand what you are saying Hooch. Do you mean someone dynamited Wea...

Hello somehiker, The small article about Ramon Grijalva and the stone tablets didn't say how many stones he brought back to Phoenix but it was at least 2 because the article read, "stones", that could mean 2 or possibly more. It said he returned from Altar Sonora with them but that does no...
