Cactus Cymry: Influential Welsh in the Southern Arizona Territory
Who Were These Guys?
They left Wales—legendary land of Celts, King Arthur, and their embolic Red Dragon—for opportunity and new identity in the hostile Wild West: the Arizona Territory. Some were honest hard workers, others were con men and outlaws. Some faded into obscurity. Some changed not only the Territory, but influenced the nation. These are true stories of Welshmen who left their mark on Tucson, Tombstone, Bisbee, and beyond.
