Sharlot as Historian
Sharlot served as Arizona’s territorial historian from Sept.
1909 until Feb. 1912. She was the first woman to hold a salaried office
in the territory. During her tenure, she visited prehistoric ruins and
Indian Reservations, and collected pioneer material throughout Arizona.
In July 1911, Sharlot began the longest expedition of her tenure, a
ten week wagon trip across the wild, remote Arizona Strip north of the
Grand Canyon.
