    9:28 Why does it say "nearer to Sonora than Tombstone by 75 miles"? I looked on the map and there does not seem to be any Sonora AZ nor any Sonora Mexico. Are they talking about Sonora California? That is hundreds of miles away?

    • @legacyofthewest
      @legacyofthewest 2 дні тому

      Sonora is one of the states in Mexico: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonora When it says "nearer to Sonora than Tombstone by 75 miles" it means Tombstone is 75 miles away from Tucson (in a south east direction). So Tombstone is 75 miles closer to Sonora than Tucson is (at least with the trails that existed at the time). The author was trying to list all of the advantages that Tombstone had over other towns, and being closer to that region of Mexico was one of them.

    My grandpa's sister Yvonne was a family historian, I used to like going to visit her when I was a kid in the 70s and 80s, she had so many photo albums and memorabilia I could spend an entire day looking through them and learning about the old days. They grew up in Northern BC in the early 1900s, Gramps was born in 1929, the youngest of 13 kids, they had a pig farm and ran a lumber mill near Dawson Creek, the land was given to them as an incentive to become Canadian citizens in the 1880s (They'd been on a quest for gold and were on their way to Alaska since not having much luck in California). Yvonne had albums full of photos during those times from California's gold rush through to 1989 when she passed. My aunt Diane does the history collection now.

    Those 11- hours of stagecoach travel was more difficult than sitting in a tight crowded coach. The dust was horrendous. No in-flight meals like on an airliner. Always a chance of outlaw robberies or Indian attacks. The weather could be hot and dry. Several stops were en route including at Drew’s Station near the San Pedro River. Stops might include a station stop meal while awaiting the change of horse team.

Luke was a product of his time just as we are. I truly believe that Luke had a good heart. He simply dealt with issues as the came up. Yes, he was a gun fighter. So what. Are any different today? Turn on the news. Now days for better or for worse, you be judge, even in Texas, we're not allowed to act this way. In his day, they were. Maybe we should take a look back - Just saying. As a retired U.S military man, I'd share a fox hole with Luke Short.
