亞利桑納於1863224日成為美國的新領土

為了得到金子和銀子,你能跋涉多遠?亞利桑納在1863224日成為獨立的領土後,新英格蘭的居民跋涉到當地尋找金子,而成立了普瑞斯考特鎮 (Prescott) 。

當他們在亞利桑納州的墓石市 (Tombstone) 發現銀子之後,到了1877年,已經有將近7千人到那邊加入挖礦的行列。4年之後,這個地方變成有名的槍戰地,後來稱為「O.K.鎮」 (O. K. Corral) 。在1880年時,因為來自世界各地的尋寶人湧入亞利桑納州,這個地區也就越來越蓬勃發展。

1912年,亞利桑納州正式成為一州,州界也得到確立。不過,這些珍貴的礦藏與槍客、都只是亞利桑納州的諸多傳統之一罷了。


How far would you travel for silver and gold? After Arizona became a separate territory on February 24, 1863, New Englanders searching for gold came to Arizona and founded the town of Prescott.

When silver was discovered at Tombstone, Arizona, in 1877, nearly 7,000 people came to the territory. Four years later, the rough frontier town became the site of the famous gunfight at the O.K. Corral. By the 1880's the Arizona territory was bustling with fortune seekers from all around the world.

In 1912, no longer a lawless frontier, Arizona became a state, but precious metals and gunslingers were only a part of Arizona's heritage.
