peer agreement (net): +1| arizona territory FYI Explanation: Arizona Canyon de Chelly, [Arizona], circa 1910-1920. Touring Turn-of-the-Century America, 1880-1920 Arizona, formerly part of the Territory of New Mexico, was organized as a separate territory on February 24, 1863. The U.S. acquired the region under the terms of the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo and the 1853 Gadsden Purchase. Arizona became the 48th state in 1912. By the 1880s, the Arizona Territory was bustling with fortune seekers hoping to strike it rich mining gold, copper, and silver. The town of Prescott was founded in 1863 by New Englanders searching for gold. Nearly 7,000 people came to southeastern Arizona in the wake of Ed Schieffelin's 1877 discovery of silver at Tombstone, near Tucson. Reference: http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/today/feb24.html |
