Question: What do Geronimo, Amelia Earhart, Pancho Villa, Wyatt Earp, Amy Semple McPherson, Gene Autry, John Philip Sousa, Rex Allen, John Slaughter, Thornton Wilder, Eleanor Roosevelt-and the Nichols family have in common? Answer: All of them left footprints in Douglas, Cochise County, Arizona. ...out in the stillness of the hot desert; out where no one heard us or saw us. Out where the sky is big and the noonday sun never moves. Out where breezes are forbidden; where heat wins every argument. Out where the rocky ground is sharp and hot. Out where the spirit of the great Apaches slips silently along the desert floor. Out where water is only a mirage and shade comes only at night. Out where everything is about a hundred miles from here. Ah, the Southern Arizona desert. What a great place. What a special place
