Globe, Arizona is a mountain mining and ranching town with a background of unusually interesting frontier history. This is the story of the pioneers who came and settled in a place five day journey by freight wagon from the nearest center of civilization. It is the account of the struggle to assert law and order, to build churches and schools and to establish ranches and homesteads as neighbors to the Apache. Globe residents weathered the worst and built a town supported by some of the richest mineral resources in Arizona.
