    Sedona Heritage MuseumSedona AZ (March 1, 2012) – The Sedona Heritage Museum is hosting the next in its 2012 series of Living History presentations on Wednesday March 14 at 9:00 a.m. at the Sedona Heritage Museum.

    Nancy Lucia Humphry will present a Chautauqua style talk called “A Frontier Family’s Southwest Journey”. Based on her book, she tells her family’s story in the vast American Southwest. She covers her grandparent’s life in New Mexico, Colorado and Arizona in the 1800s-early 1900s, as remembered by her grandmother Maria Lucia in her hold age. Maria’s husband was a cattle rancher, businessman, politician, prominent citizen and some say a murderer. Lucia was a midwife and curandera (healer/folk practitioner). The family story has connections to Verde Valley families including the Jordans, Wingfields and Halletts.

    Nancy Lucia Humphry and her husband Paul have written multiple stories of southwestern history. Then, in 2010 partly because of her genealogy research, Nancy wrote “Those Days in December-A Frontier Family’s Southwest Journey”.

    War
    War
    By Tommy Acosta
    War…What is it good for? Obviously, it is good for those who profit from destruction and the taking of human life. And what is the common denominator, the impetus for war throughout the centuries? It’s about the acquisition of land, by force, deceit or any other means possible. During the holidays I went to a party where this retired couple were recounting a land dispute they were having with their neighbor. It seems their neighbor was claiming an extra six feet on their property line and the animosity had grown so strong that they were now in court trying to settle whose six feet of land it was. Prior to the dispute they had been friendly but now they had become arch enemies, all for a tiny piece of land. Read more→
