How the West Was Won… By Waitresses

This isn't quite about a Phoenix area family or history, but AZ's unique history. 



I've been enamored by the idea of the Harvey Girls for quite a while- there's something romantic about being a smart young woman venturing off into the unknown wild west to grow as a person...and for some to find a husband!

It's just a fun article from the Smithsonian that I thought some of you might enjoy!
