Williams, A. G. The Arizona team, or, going to see the elephant, 1885 May 16.

Title: The Arizona team, or, going to see the elephant, 1885 May 16.

Manuscript memoirs in ink, corrected and annotated (on verso) in pencil, relating an 1879 overland journey by A. G. Williams from the town of Louisiana, Missouri, to Tucson, Arizona. Describes the formulation of the expedition's traveling plans, names the four original party members, tells of the purchase of mules and a wagon in St. Louis and the group's preparations and final departure from the town of Louisiana on May 19, 1879. Williams's narrative traces an overland journey from Missouri through Kansas, Colorado, and New Mexico, arriving in Tucson on September 29, after accompanying a surveying party for the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railroad during the last portion of their trip. The narrative traces the changing make-up of the emigrant party, several attempts by the party's mule team to escape, and observations about the various towns and regions passed through, including Kansas City, Dodge City, Raton Pass, Las Vegas (N.M.), the Rio Grande Valley, and the Apache Pass leading into Tucson. Documents the expedition's first encounter with Mexicans; their interactions with various farm families during their journey, including Kansas families returning East due to grasshopper infestations; and rumors of raids by Victorio, an Apache chief, in New Mexico. Upon arrival in Tucson, Williams sold his outfit and took a position with the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railroad surveying party. Inscription on unbound leaf, dated May 16, 1885, Pinal, Ariz., dedicates the account to J. B. Coudron and J. H. Brown, two men who accompanied Williams from Louisiana to Arizona. An annotation on title page, also dated May 16, 1885, Pinal, Ariz., and signed by A. G. Williams, states Williams's intention to revise the memoirs at a future date.
