dusty Report post Posted October 11, 2019 Yea I think your right it was Slims dad's place. I've turkey hunted on the Q ranch,elk hunted above Indian Gardens and bear hunted Ellison crk. I elk hunted and saw the three graves and heard the story that they were taking them to Prescott and got drunk and figured they would save themselves a long ride and strung them up that night. I liked the story in the book about how tough and mean the pack burros were. They are the only animal besides man that commits rape. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DUG Report post Posted October 11, 2019 I used to go up to that area (Q Ranch) alot when I was younger. I would usually come up from the South. I stumbled upon the graves one trip and I believe a small monument telling about the Pleasant Valley wars. I will see about getting the book. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
