The Meteoric Iron of Tucson
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 March 2018
Extract
Two large masses of meteoric iron, which have been removed from Tucson, are now preserved, the one at Washington, the other at San Francisco. According to Lippincott's Gazetteers Tucson is "a posttown, capital of Pima County, Arizona, U.S.A., on the Rio Santa Cruz, and on the Southern Pacific Railroad, about 250 miles east of Yuma. It was founded in the year 1560 by the Jesuits. It contains a church, the Institute of St. Joseph, two free schools, a bank, a newspaper office, a court-house, a United States depository, many stores, and two flour mills. The population in 1880 was 7,007."
