Copy of Thomas R. Hamblin's brief account of the exploits of the "desperadoes" Charley Woods and Finn and Ike Clanton in Springerville, Arizona, from 1882. Includes descriptions of various confrontations between Woods and the Clantons and local residents and law enforcement, including a U.S. Marshal named Brighten. The account ends with Charley Woods' death in Globe, Arizona, in 1896. Also included are annotated extracts from the diary and autobiography of William D. Johnson, Jr. (1850-1923). Includes a daily record of his accompaniment of the Major Powell Company down the Colorado River in 1872, as well as autobiographical descriptions of his life in Utah, his travels to Mexico in 1885 (at the urging of Erastus Snow, who told Johnson to go "on account of polygamy"), and his appointment as a Bishop of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Mexico in 1886.
