Nichols and Mickles: They All Came Together

Nichols and Mickles: They All Came Together by Jerry Macke with contributions by Doris (Dodie) Mickle-Macke (wife of Jerry Macke) and Les F. Mickle (brother-in-law). Early pioneers, such as the Mickle family, made their way to the Verde Valley; coming by mule, horseback and covered wagons to build and to stay. Their courage, toughness, and vision opened up a new land that became home for their families. This book is a report of one family's adventure. The book starts out with a 1909 photo of Les Mickle and his father Frederick Maxwell Mickle in two Jerome Dairy Wagons pulled by horses on their way to deliver milk and cheese to the miners in the small town of Jerome, Arizona. Jerry is a historian who brings together extensive bloodline studies as well as genealogy and news of the day to grow the story from forefathers to the current family. The book has interesting maps related to mining claims in Cottonwood, Arizona as well as photos of the day. The author helps readers to climb into the mind of real-life cowboys and cowgirls and what it was like to come out west to settle in the Verde Valley of Arizona. 13 chapters, 170 pages.
