    logo_sedonamuseum2Sedona AZ (April 24, 2018) – The Sedona Heritage Museum is hosting the next in its Living History speaker series on Wednesday May 9 at 10:00 a.m. at the Museum when Nancy Burgess will present an “Arizona Auto Adventure:  Clarence Boynton’s 1913 travelogue”. This presentation and Burgess’ book of the same name are based on the account Boynton kept during an extensive Arizona road trip of that year. The excitement, sights, experiences, trials, tribulations, and stories are enhanced and expanded by the visual images in the form of photographs, maps, advertisements and other printed material. Nancy will sell and sign her books after the talk.

    Would you like to go on an automobile adventure in Arizona in August 1913? Chemist Clarence N. Boynton and his friend and soon-to-be business partner, physician William Warner Watkins, along with their wives and the Watkins’ nine-month-old daughter set out on a driving trip in Dr. Watkins’ new 1913 Studebaker open touring car. Planned to cover a circle of approximately 1,000 miles in central Arizona, back then it was “no country for an auto.” Throughout the 36-day trip, Boynton described the route, the stories about the places they visited, the hospitable and not so hospitable people they met and the assistance they received along the way. While some of the communities visited in 1913 have changed drastically and some no longer exist, the trip chronicled could be almost completely duplicated by automobile today.

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
