    Sedona News – The Sedona Heritage Museum is hosting the next in its Living History speaker series on Thursday March 9 at 10:00 a.m. when Parker Anderson will present “Charles P. Stanton – Arizona Gold Gangster.”

    Charles P. Stanton is one of Arizona’s most enduring folklore characters and depictions of him as a mass murderer who got away with it are legendary. But, are these stories really true? Arizona historian Parker Anderson has delved deep into surviving historical records and uncovered much new information.

    The alleged crime boss oversaw a reign of terror in the small mining town that bore his name, about 20 miles north of Wickenburg. Driven by greed, he stole ore, swindled mines away from their owners and bribed his way out of justice. Those who crossed him usually ended up dead. Relying on original source material, including court documents and newspapers, Anderson will reveal the true story of Stanton for the first time and broach the possibility that the mysterious Irish Lord may not have been guilty of the terrible crimes that folklore has attributed to him.

    Anderson has written a book on the subject, and will have copies available for purchase after his talk.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
