Prescott fire engulfs Whiskey Row businesses

[CactusJak]

1. July 1900

The Big Fire of 1900. There are a few plaques around town commemorating the event.

There was also a "cowboy" poet, Gardner I think, who wrote of starting at the Kaintuck bar and 40 drinks later ending up at the Depot. I don't think there are that many now but in the 70' and 80's when I 1st started wintering down here there was plenty of "pub crawling" to be had.

I still keep a place up there but with kids, grandkids and other assorted hangers on using it, plus the wife and I doing some "doctoring" at the Mayo we don't get up there as much anymore.

I'm sure whatever happened they'll get rebuilt real soon.
