The region described in the following pages comprises the valley of the Rio Verde, in Arizona, from Verde, in eastern central Yavapai county, to the confluence with Salt river, in Maricopa county. The written history of the region treated extends back only a few years.
His question was pitiful, and Patches assured the poor fellow that he had no wish to be anything but his friend, if only Yavapai Joe would accept his help. "Then," said Joe pleadingly, "if you mean all that you been sayin' about wantin' to help me, you'll do somethin' fer me right now." "What can I do, Joe?" "You kin promise me that you won't say nothin' to nobody 'bout me an' him back there."
That's a hell of a name, now, ain't it?" The man went two long steps toward the mocking rider, and spoke quietly, but with unmistakable meaning. "I'll endeavor to make it all of that for you, if you will get off your horse." The grinning cowboy, with a wink at his companion, dismounted cheerfully. Curly Elson was held to be the best man with his hands in Yavapai County.
Yavapai Joe lifted his head and stood straighter by his tall friend's side, and there was a new note in his voice as he answered, "Whatever you say goes, Mr. Knight." Patches smiled. "Friends, this is Mr. Joseph Parkhill, the only son of the distinguished Professor Parkhill, whom you all know so well."
Hence the start is seldom accomplished until after ten o'clock, two hours beyond the allotted time. Sunrise and Sunset at Hopi Point. It already has been pointed out that this is the strong scenic point near to El Tovar, for both eastern and western canyon scenery, though the eastern is not so fully revealed as from Yavapai Point.
Harris and several others refer to the Little Colorado country as being in "Aravapai" County. This was in error. The county then was Yavapai, before the separation of Apache County. The valley was found by Oscar Cluff while hunting in the fall of 1877 and soon thereafter he moved there with his family. In February there followed his brother, Alfred Cluff, who suggested the name.
The dear old Dean is as pleased and proud as though you were one of his own sons." "Really, you make too much of it," he returned, clearly embarrassed by her praise. "Tell me, you are enjoying the celebration? And what's the matter with Phil? Can't you persuade him to ride in the contest? We don't want the championship to go out of Yavapai County, do we?"
What became of Patches? Run, did he, when you appeared on the scene?" "Oh, no; he went away with a with a maverick." "Went away with a maverick? What, in heaven's name, do you mean by that?" "That's what your man Patches said the fellow was. Miss Reid told me his name was Joe Joe something." Phil was not laughing now. The fun of the situation had vanished. "Was it Yavapai Joe?" he demanded.
If Phil hadn't 'a' happened on to Patches and Joe when he did, or if he had been a little slower about findin' a man guilty just because appearances were against him, we'd 'a' had the evidence from Yavapai Joe that we've been wantin', an' could 'a' called the turn on that Tailholt outfit proper. As it stands now, we're right where we was before. Now, what are you all goin' to do about it?"
And now, amigo, I will tell you one thing, and you may believe it, for I am an old man and have dwelt here long: it is not God who sends the dry years, but the sheep! "Mira! I have seen the mowing machine of the Americano cut the tall grass and leave all level so the starved sheep of Yavapai swept across our mesa and left it bare.
