THE BLOODIEST FEUD IN AMERICAN HISTORY
Movie makers created several movies about the famous Lincoln County War in New Mexico. With Billy the Kid as a personality, the fracas caught on with the public. I have often thought that our local catastrophe, “The Pleasant Valley War,” got short shrift. After all, our war lasted longer and killed more people, a lot more people. Publicity counts. But finally, we have our bloodletting on film. Arizona filmmaker Travis Mills set out to make 12 full-length movies in the 12 months of 2021. “The Pleasant Valley War” is one of his 12 films. I don’t think any other filmmaker has made such a bold and successful series of films in such a short period. People in our area will know some of the details of the murderous, decade-long rampage. We will remember the Hashknife cowboys, a bad lot from Texas. There are the Tewksburys and the Grahams, rival families that decimated each other. We have rustlers, sheepherders, cattlemen, lawmen, and outlaws. The identities of some of the victims we do not know. Some of the slain men simply came to the attention of a murderer by happenstance. Others were stalked and killed. Some died in a tragic case of mistaken identity. Killers shot from ambush or gathered into gangs and hung some victims extra-legally. Writer, director, and actor Travis Mills brings all of the confusing tangles of the story to the big screen for the first time. He uses the techniques of a documentarian and a traditional western action film with actors creating scenes to tell the story. We will see an actor explaining some aspects of the war, alternating with a live-action scene. I think he did a credible job of story-telling. The actors besides Travis Mills include John Marrs, Payson resident Kevin Gross, and John Schile. Mr. Schile attended the viewing that I saw. That is a kick to see an actor on the screen and then to see him in the flesh in the audience. This ultra-low-budget film gets a strong two saw blades. People in our area should take the time to see it for educational purposes. How often do we get to see a bit of our history on screen? Travis Mills shot “The Pleasant Vally War” in an astonishing nine days. All up, his budget for the film amounted to some $5,000. Like a bicycle riding bear, it isn’t that the bear rides well. It is enough that he rides at all. Low budget or not, the film took six different awards at various film festivals. That means something.

THERE WERE MANY more cattle than people in Arizona two hundred years ago. Late in the 17th Century, Spanish ranchers established sizeable herds in the Santa Cruz Valley in southern Arizona. Father Kino noted in his diary in 1700 that "we gathered up after branding time and sent alive to California about seven hundred head of beeves, one thousand sheep and goats, and some horses.'' Records show that the rich grasslands of the Arizona river valleys were thick with cattle-mostly Spanish Longhorns-a hundred years before the Arizona Territory was formed. |

OKTOBERFEST IN AMERICA
ARIZONA GAME AND FISH

| | How we can live together as people with animals.
Living among the wildlife, especially coyotes, javalina, bears, deer, elk, skunks, raccoons, non-domestic horses, and more! We all call the forest our home. So... People --- When you see a wild animal, please do not encourage them to hang around, i.e. don't feed them or try to pet them. Enjoy them from a distance. Make sure outdoor food sources are confined and trash is bagged and secure.. Some are looking for food, but most are just passing through from one part of the forest to another. They probably stop and stare at all the strange obstacles in their way, just as we stop and stare at them! PLEASE don't encourage them in any way to stay. THANK YOU for enjoying them from a distance! | | |

| | The Verde Salt Mine and The Importance of Salt Through History.
Imagine with me for a moment, you’re a miner, in the 1920s. Your employer has commissioned you and your fellow workers to dig extensive tunnels beneath the rocky ground of the Verde Valley. Somewhere, in the midst of your work, as you trace through the rich layers of salt, you find it—a body! This body, though obviously not recently deceased, was still shockingly well-preserved. How could this be? The answer is found quite simply in the nature of salt | | |
