There’s Something About CAVE CREEK (It’s The People)
By Gene K. Garrison
Glimpses into the lives of characters who added flavor to that special brew called Cave Creek, Arizona in the early 1900s. History lite, fun.

Description
Author Gene K. Garrison interviewed these characters in the 1970s when they were old-timers. O. K. Charlie was a sometime prospector, sometime artist who traded his paintings at the world-famous bar, the Cave Creek Corral, for drinks. Leadpipe was a squatter who lived at the edge of the county dump in a trailer and a lean-to. A charming man, he enjoyed the company of friends, and became somewhat of a celebrity in the town. There were two kinds of sheriffs at different times in the history of Cave Creek. The first, Catherine Jones, was a sure-shot who really meant business. The other, Frank Donars, didn’t really want to be sheriff, but no one else would do it. He kept the peace, although he didn’t enjoy breaking up fights at the bars. Actually, he was a musician, and there was a need for that. Parties were plentiful, and they needed live music. That is but a miniscule sample of the charming and not-so-charming people that shared their lifestyles. It’s a pleasant read.
