Waged largely in northeastern Arizona, it had all of the classic elements: cattle and horse rustling, massacres, and dramatic courtroom confrontations ... Only one major feud broke out in Arizona - the Pleasant Valley War or the Graham-Tewksbury feud - but it was big enough and bloody enough to command national attention. It helped persuade the rest of the country that Arizona Territory was uncivilized and therefore unfit for statehood." . ISBN: 0873584635.
