	Arizona
		Until 1863, this region was part of the Territory of New Mexico, and at the time of its acquisition by the United States, Indians were almost the only inhabitants of this country, reputed to be rich in precious metals.
		In 1870 the Territory was much harried by Indians, and in 1871 its Governor declared that "all the Arizonians felt discouraged." Even in 1882, President Arthur conveyed to Congress the report of the Governor of Arizona that violence and anarchy prevailed.
		The Territory's seat of government, temporarily established in 1864 at Prescott, was, in 1867, fixed at Tucson, and, in 1877, transferred to Prescott again.

	19th-century 'Old West' law surprisingly sophisticated
		The common perception that the Arizona Territory of the 19th Century existed largely in a state of lawlessness is a myth promulgated primarily by 20th Century Hollywood, television, and dime novels.
		In the early territorial years, any white male who was at least 21 years of age and of "good moral character" could be admitted to the practice of law in the Supreme and District Courts of the Arizona Territory.
		Territorial and federal law enforcement officials - lawmen and lawyers - did their jobs keeping the peace, apprehending criminals and bringing them to justice in accordance with a legal code specifically adapted to the unique requirements of a new territory.

	The Promise of Gold Mountain: Tucson's Chinese Heritage
		The Chinese did not enter the Territory in sufficient numbers to be viewed as a significant social threat and thus were not confronted with the discriminatory legislation or the violent expressions of prejudice that had greeted them in California, Colorado, Wyoming and Montana.
		The Territory of Arizona was the result of Anglo occupation of Mexican land lost after the Mexican War (1846-48).
		In the northern section of the Territory, Louie Ghuey was one of the "progressive Chinese." He was the builder of the first brick building in Holbrook, and ads promoting the businesses of this enterprising pioneer appear in the Holbrook Argus from 1895 to 1898, when he owned a grocery, restaurant, bakery and photographic studio.

		In 1859, another bill was introduced to organize the territory of Arizona, the name having been changed to Arizuma, presumably to satisfy some element in Congress.

	MABS - Sonoran Pioneers in the Arizona Territory
		In early accounts of the territory during this period, the date of a community's founding was generally marked by the entry of a homestead claim or the filing of a townsite plat, rather than the formation of the first settlement by Hispanic pioneers.
		In his survey of Arizona in the 1870s, Richard J. Hinton observed: In the Salt River Valley there was a ranch or two; and elsewhere, except at Tucson and Yuma, there was nothing of life to be found except a few Mexicans, the Pimas and Papagoes, with the hostile Indians at every turn.
		In the late 19th century, the population of Arizona was still predominently Hispanic, and nearly all of the (non-Indian) women and children living in the territory were of Mexican ancestry.
