Bisbee, Arizona is located just 90 miles east and south of Tucson. Bisbee is nestled in the Mule Mountains, and is the picturesque county seat of Cochise County. Bisbee was founded in 1880 and named after Judge DeWitt Bisbee, a financial backer of the Copper Queen Mine.
The city was known as “the Queen of the Copper Camps”, this Old West mining camp proved to be one of the richest mineral sites in the world, producing nearly three million ounces of gold and more than eight billion pounds of copper, not to mention the silver, lead and zinc that came from these rich Mule Mountains.
By the early 1900s, the Bisbee community was the largest city between St. Louis, MO and San Francisco, CA.
Bisbee, with a population of over 20,000 people in the early 1900’s, had become one of the most cultured cities in the Southwest. Despite its culture, however, the rough edges of the mining camps could be found in notorious Brewery Gulch, with its saloons and shady ladies. Brewery Gulch, which in its heyday boasted upwards of 47 saloons and was considered the "liveliest spot between El Paso and San Francisco".
Bisbee offered other recreational pursuits in that it was home to the state’s first community library, a popular opera house, the state’s oldest ball fields and the state’s first golf course. Bisbee is the Nation’s southernmost mile-high city. In the year 1908, a fire ravaged most of the commercial district along Main Street, leaving nothing but ashes.
The residents of Bisbee quickly began reconstruction and by 1910, most of the district had been rebuilt and remains completely intact today.
Robert A. Bates Memorial Print Shop is part of the Sharlot Hall Museum located in Prescott, Arizona. The museum is named after its founder, Sharlot Mabridth Hall (1870-1943), who became well known as a poet, activist, politician, and Arizona’s first territorial historian. Sharlot Hall was one of the West’s most remarkable women. As early as 1907, Ms. Hall saw the need to save Arizona's history and planned to develop a museum.
This print shop represents a small job/newspaper shop of the Arizona territorial period, 1863-1912. The presses used in this shop are of the 1860s, and use the centuries-old letterpress process. This Washington Hand Press was built in 1868 by R. Hoe & Co. for the production of weekly newspapers. It is the Imperial #5 model, weighing 2,150 lbs. It was sold with a one-year warranty.
This press was used to produce the Sacramento (Calif.) Bee in the 1870s. It is typical of the many presses hauled by wagon or train to the outer reaches of civilization during the western expansion period.
Look Around the Frontier Print Shop. The objects used to produce material by the letterpress printing process are found in our territorial print shop.
