Sharlot Hall
Hand colored image of Sharlot Hall at the Grand Canyon, c. 1911
Sharlot Hall (1870-1943) was largely self-educated and highly literate child of the Arizona frontier. Although Sharlot attended a few terms in a log-and-adobe schoolhouse near her family's Lynx Creek homestead and boarded in Prescott for one year of school in town, most of her learning took place on the ranch. In addition to being a poet and newspaper reporter, Hall was appointed Territorial Historian, the first woman to hold a public office in Arizona.
