What an interesting story! Of course, I'm prejudiced as well. David Dixon Porter is one of my husband's ancestors.

Thanks, Sue. It's interesting to run across some of the jobs the famous did before they became famous.

» jerrib - Have you been to Quartzsite, AZ?

to see Hi Jolly's gravesite? He was the Arab camel driver who was brought over with the camels to teach Americans how to use them.

There's also a movie about this you may get in most big video stores called "Hawmp" (or something like that - ask you video store person). It's really a great movie.

Nope, I've only been through Arizona one time, just passing through in 1976.
