FLAGSTAFF HISTORY

Flagstaff History: Grand Canyon saw attendance grow 25% on way to setting record

100 years ago

1922: There was no attempt made by the Sun to gather a list of those who wandered off, afoot, by car and by horse Sunday morning to celebrate the opening of the deer and turkey season. Just take your telephone directory and you will have a partial list. For the number who went, multiply the names in the directory by four or five. The season opened more viciously this year than last. That is, if the word leaves you gasping, there were more deer and turkey brought in on Sunday than on the first day last year. Dannie Campbell at first thought his 300-pound buck, which he had several hours before noon, was the first shot that day. But others later claimed that distinction, and Dannie had to be content with the knowledge that his was the biggest of the lot.



All events were taken from issues of the Arizona Daily Sun and its predecessors, the Coconino Weekly Sun and the Coconino Sun.
