There was an electrician in Superior whose family put him on a train at the age of ten. He got off in Phoenix and, after a time in a tent city, went up to the Superstition Mtn, Iron Mtn. area and worked for the Barnett brothers and found and brought Indian artifacts for the Picket Post before working at the mine.

I always find this kind of thing astonishing.
When my kids were ten they had to come home when the lights came on.

I had an uncle who drove for Greyhound back in the ‘50s. His run took him to Globe, Miami, Superior, and I believe they lived in one of those towns for awhile. I remember visiting them but I was very small and don’t recall which town it was.
