The Arizona Miner
Prescott, Arizona Territory
July 26th, 1873
Local & Miscellaneous.
The last Of The Date Creeks.- We missed
seeing two hundred or more Date Creek
Indians as they passed through town
Friday last, on their way to the Verde
reservation, but are informed by persons
who did observe them, that the great
majority was composed of women and
children. The women were heavily laden
with baskets of truck, while the men
glided easily and gracefully along,
under light suits of summer clothing—
heads of hair and breech—cloths. One
very pretty little girl, and a boy who
wore a soldier cap, appeared extremely
happy.
