After our adventure in finding Kerlin's Well, I took advantage of thefact that we were already in Northern Arizona to go to the NorthernArizona University, Cline Library, Special Collections and ArchivesDepartment. The book with the faded picture of Kerlin's Well was writtenby my Great-uncle, George Shepherd Tanner. See Tanner, George S. HenryMartin Tanner; Joseph City, Arizona Pioneer, Born June 11, 1852, SanBernardino, California, Died March 21, 1935, Gilbert, Arizona.1964. NAU's Special Collections is typical of many other largeuniversity library collections. Finding NAU is not a problem, I havedriven past the campus hundreds of times and visited parts of theuniversity on many different occasions. But this was my first visit tothe library.
