letters reveal the privations of a soldier's life, the uncertainties of living
on the frontier, and the fear of Indian attacks. Leaving the army and Arizona

correspondence from other Cranston siblings, and letters from James Cranston,
their father. Many of these are accounts of family activities and events,
others reveal some of the emotional undercurrents in family life. | | | | Repository: | University of Arizona Libraries, Special Collections | | | | Subjects: | Apache Indians -- Wars | Frontier and pioneer life -- Arizona | | | | Similar Items: | Find Similar Guides |
