Charleston & Millville,A.T.  Hell on the San Pedro
A native of southeastern Arizona, John Rose first visited Charleston purely by accident as a child, and has been intrigued by that place ever since. He has devoted decades to his research of the history which surrounds his home. Mr. Rose has been published in the nation’s top-selling western history magazine, has appeared in Arizona Highways, and has been interviewed by Voice of America among many others. He has published ground breaking articles on his critically acclaimed website known as “Wyatt Earp Explorers.com” This critically acclaimed website has a worldwide audience which averages 10,000 hits per month. Rose’s personal antique collection is one of the key Tombstone, Earp, and Charleston inventories, extending into the Arizona Territory, Geronimo, and the Apache Wars. It includes original documents and photos, saloon equipment, personal possessions of noted characters of those colorful times, and many other items. As he has said before, “If you want to understand America, you have to come to the West; if you want to understand the West, you have to come to this [The San Pedro River] Valley.”  A key part of this valley’s history is the untold story of Charleston and Millville. Mr. Rose turns his attention to these important but under-reported locations, and for the first time ever, the story of Charleston and Millville A.T. is now offered in book form.
