Of Mexican descent, she was the first child in her family to become literate, and held a position that was central to the ranching community in which she lived. This collection of photographs, postcards, postal documents, and an oral history by her daughter portrays her life as a postmistress, as well as offers a glimpse into ranch life in rural Arizona during that period. | | | | Repository: | Postal History Foundation, Peggy J.
