The Arizona Miner
Prescott, Arizona Territory
February 6th, 1869
A TRAVELLED BOY . -
Arthur Rogers , a boy
who arrived here Sunday last from Camp
Date Creek ,
to attend Mrs. Ruble ' s
school , has travel led over and seen a
great deal of this western country. When
a mere stripling , — years ago, he accom—
panied his parents from California to
Prescott. Soon after, his father took a
notion to go to Texas , and Arthur went
with him as far as Fort Union New Mexico ,
where his parents stopped. Soon, a change
came o 'er the spirit of the "old mans s"
dream; he resolved, in his mind, that
there were worse places than Central
Arizona, so he packed up again, took the
back track, and after months of toilsome
travel r arrived at Camp Date Creek , in
this country , where they will remain
until spring opens, when they will start
for this pinery. In a conversation with
Master Rogers, he was not slow to inform
us that Prescott was the best and prett—
lest place he had seen since leaving it,
and that he was glad to get back.
