This is an original, hand-signed typed letter on official Arizona Lumber & Timber Co. letterhead, dated August 30, 1933, from Timothy A. Riordan (President) to Captain Frank W. Halsey of the U.S. Army's 9th Infantry. Written from Flagstaff, AZ, it's a heartfelt thank-you for Halsey's initiative in naming the newly established Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) Camp F-27-A (Bellemont, AZ) after Timothy's late brother, Michael J. Riordan - a co-founder of the lumber company and key figure in Flagstaff's development.
Why This Letter is Extraordinary:
* Undocumented Historical Gem: No online records or published histories mention "Camp Riordan" as an official or honorary name for CCC Camp F-27-A (established May 1933 in Coconino National Forest). This letter provides primary evidence of the tribute, proposed by Halsey during the camp's dedication - a "lost" detail that could rewrite footnotes in CCC and Arizona lumber lore!
