Description

An Arizona Chronology:The Territorial Years contains the first sheaves of a newspaperman's gleaning of history from the crisp, yellowing abundance of old newspapers and other Arizona archives.

Later volumes will bring up to the present this readable chronology, compiled by an elder statesman of the printed word. Who better to choose news items giving a key to the times than Douglas D.

Martin, who first set newspaper type when he was 15, filled news and magazine columns and book pages galore, and today at 75 is still writing for print?

He knows newspapers from the composing room to the editor's desk-Detroit Free Press-not excepting reportorial beats, having received the Pulitzer Prize for reporting on his own. More recent highlights of Doug Martin's career have been "retirements"-from an editor's desk to head of Journalism at the University of Arizona; from there to a Library study where he wrote the history of the University, Lamp in the Desert, (UA Press, 1960), and before that, Tombstone's Epitaph and the best-seller Yuma Crossing.
