I Wouldn't Trade These Yesterdays.The Reminiscences Of May Cargill Doan.

WALLACE, ANDREW [EDITED BY].

Publication: Arizona Pioneers' Historical Society, 1966, Tucson

First separate edition. Story originally appeared in The Journal of Arizona History, Volume Six, Numbers 3 and 4, Autumn and Winter, 1965. Printed wrappers, [2], 38 pp., illustrated. The author tells the story of her early life in the East, where she was born in 1880, the second child of Andrew Hays Cargill by his second wife. In 1892 the family moved to California where she describes the Cargill orange raising "ranch" near Anaheim. In 1902 the family move to Yuma, where May worked for a market as a bookkeeper, attended dances and other social functions, and met John Doan, who would later become her husband. John was the son of Fletcher Morris Doan, a lawyer from New York and Ohio. In 1893 he went into business keeping stores at mining camps near Yuma. In 1898 he became a District Court clerk in Yuma. There he met and married May. May describes Yuma as she knew it in 1902 and 1903, her marriage and their life together at Silverbell and other Arizona communities. Fine.
