THE IRISH LORD
Charles P. Stanton, 1830-1886, was the founder of Stanton Arizona. In 1870 he moved to the small town of Antelope Creek and decided he wanted to own it. He threatened and murdered those who opposed him. After a short time he drove everyone out, appointed himself Post Master then re-named the small town after himself. He was also the leader of a gang of Mexican bandits, hiring them to do most of his dirty work. The story of Charles P. Stanton, a.k.a. The Irish Lord, has been told many times, each time he becomes more evil and sadistic. No one really knows if all the things that are said about him are true. However, the author believes that because many of the events depicted in this book are true, and documented, then maybe the rest of them could be true, and not documented, until now.
