In the 1870s and 1880s, former Union Soldier George Hand found himself in Tucson. During that time, he worked as a bar owner and a courthouse janitor. He is well-known for creating a map of Tucson at that time.

He also kept a diary chronicling the people and events of territorial Tucson. It remains one of the best glimpses we have into what life was like for the people of Tucson in that era.   Learn about the life of George Hand and his neighbors.”
