For your consideration are three photos from the Pleasant Valley area showing active cowboys, settlers and a log cabin from the early 1880s to late 1890s. The first photo shows two men, Tom Tucker and Billy Wilson, members of the Hash Knife cowboys who fought in the Pleasant Valley War, posing for a photo. Tom Tucker, is standing to the left of Billy Wilson, while both of them wear cowboy hats, pistols on their hips and boots on their feet. The Pleasant Valley War, also known as the Graham-Tewksbury Feud or Tonto Basin War, was a violent conflict in Arizona's Pleasant Valley from 1882 to 1892. It was a range war, a long-standing family feud with multiple participants beyond the two main families. The war was characterized by cattle rustling, horse theft, and overall lawlessness as various parties, including ranchers, sheppards, and law enforcement, clashed. They also worked for the Aztec Land & Cattle Company, which sucked them into the violent world of 1886-87, when the People’s Party took control of Apache County. In 1888, one of Commodore Perry Owens' men captured Wilson, the Aztec cook, and delivered him and two others to a lynch mob. Tucker, who had been among those attempting to drive out Mormons, was shot in the chest during a Yavapai County range war in 1887. Among those who opened fire on him was James Tewksbury, who had worked as a spy for William Flake and the Apache County Stock Growers Association two years prior. Tucker survived and eventually converted to Mormonism. The second photo shows a log cabin in Pleasant Valley, built by Tom & John Graham around 1882. This photo was taken in the 1930s. The third and final photo was taken in May, 1892 and shows the cabin of Ed Rose, near the Graham Ranch in Pleasant Valley. The Rose brothers, Al and Ed, were heavily involved in the Graham faction. Al Rose was slain in an ambush near the Houdon Ranch on Spring Creek by opposing forces, including Tewksbury men. He had set out early in the morning to look for horses while camping at the Houdon Ranch with two others. His attackers were laying in wait. Al was buried in the Graham Ranch's ancient cemetery. The Houdon Ranch and the Rose brothers' cabins, as seen in 1925, were still standing at the time. Will C. Barnes took this photograph in May 1892. The photos in this lot show good condition overall with little wear present from their age and use over the years, but no signs of damage noted. The photos measure from 5" L x 7" W to 3 1/2" L x 5 1/4" W. They have a collective weight of under 6 ounces. Provenance: From the Tombstone Western Heritage Museum in Tombstone, Arizona.
