San Pedro River Water Wars in the Post Drew's Station Era John D. Rose

Legend and myth have long been a part of the story of the San Pedro River. But what is the truth of this key waterway in the history of the Great American Southwest? The groundbreaking discovery of an unknown 19th Century court case has unearthed the history of not only the San Pedro River, but the many ranchers and farmers who once called its environs home. John D. Rose, author of Charleston and Millville A. T. Hell on the San Pedro, and On the Road to Tombstone: Drew's Station, Contention City and Fairbank, further illuminates the story of the San Pedro River, dispelling the myths of riverboats and uninterrupted stands of Cottonwood Trees, as well as definitive proof of the origins of a site that was incorrectly identified as Drew's Station.
