Scope and Contents

"Dawn and Sunset," by Andrew W. Allen. A short history of the Sunset United Order which relates the problems encountered raising certain crops and the experiments until adjustment could be made to climate, water, etc. The supply of honey came from a large oak tree burned in a forest fire and after twenty-six gallons of honey were extracted this swarm of bees and others became the constant supplier of this "royal luxury." Turkeys, antelope, and bear supplied much of their meat. Allen tells of picnics, target shooting, horse racing, steer riding, and other amusements. Building and rebuilding the dame was a constant labor. Each person worked according to his talents and abilities. Also included with this short history is a list of people buried in the Sunset cemetery and a map of the Little Colorado settlements.
