Albert Monreal Quihuis presents Arizona’s Wild Territorial Days, the five trails, the five flags, and the 5C’s. Mining towns, saloons, gambling, brothels, gunfighting, stagecoach robberies, cattle rustlers, and Indian Wars fill this tale. It is a wonder that Arizona achieved statehood as the 48th state. The driving forces behind this success included the 5C’s: Copper, Cattle, Cotton, Citrus, and Climate. Are the 5C’s still important today?
