Join Jay Mark as he tells the incredulous story of how James Addison Reavis single handedly stole most of central Arizona. In the late-19th century, Arizona was the center of one the grandest land-fraud schemes perpetrated in the U.S. As the result of an apparent 17th century royal decree, more than 12-million acres from central Arizona to western New Mexico were claimed as private property — the largest single land ownership in the country, called the Peralta Grant.
This event is offered for free and is open to the public. This program is made possible through a partnership between The Museum of Casa Grande, the AZ Humanities and the City of Casa Grande Dorothy Powell Senior Center.
