SAR Prescott AZ

Dear Arizona SAR Compatriots,

Welcome to the 130th year of the original Arizona SAR Charter! Since our official chartering on June 13, 1896, it’s only fitting that today marks the launch of the Arizona SAR Historian Newsletters—a series that will be shared periodically through June 2026, each exploring different aspects of our history.

Each mailing will also include a variety of historical materials, such as Arizona SAR history books compiled by me and Compatriot Mark A. Davis of the Saguaro Chapter, along with historical pamphlets. In this first mailing, I have attached the first book in the series, Early Days of the Arizona Society Sons of the American Revolution, Volume I.

I am sending these newsletters to the six Chapter presidents, since I don’t have a complete email list for all of the Arizona SAR Compatriots, trusting they will share them with their Chapter members.

I look forward to sharing and preserving our history together in the coming months!

Fraternally,

David A. Swanson, Arizona SAR Historian
