The Arizona Miner
Prescott, Arizona Territory
October 26th, 1867
We rode back to town (Wickenburg) well
pleased with what we saw, bade adieu to
our friends and started by the way of
Camp McPherson, in company with the mail
rider and his escort, for Prescott. The
distance from Wickenburg to Date Creek is
about 30 miles over a very good road. The
soldiers showed us the place where In—
dians murdered the brave Mulligan , who
was carrying the mail the previous week.
We camped close to the Post until 12
o ' clock— midnight, when we again mounted
our cava 110 and started homeward, passing
on our way r Kirkland and Skull Valleys ,
where we found a great many old acquain—
tances settled down on good ranches ,
enjoying themselves after the agricul—
tura1 labors of the summer. We arrived in
our own beautiful mountain town about
four o clock Sunday evening last , and
feasted our eyes upon the unequalled
scenery, the neat and tasty houses, and
the tall pines of this the most beautiful
spot in Arizona
