Jack Talk: Law in Territorial Arizona

This is one of Jack’s favorite talks because it tells the story of how this land was acquired from the Mexicans: the Spanish law that came with it and is still with us today;  the early counties which included our lost county, Pah-Ute County, which is now that part of Nevada where Las Vegas is located; why we have the 15 counties we have; why it took so long so for us to become a territory and eventually a state; what the early courts, lawyers and judges where like here on this wild frontier; and some examples vigilante justice that seems taken right from the silver screen.
