Synopsis

Charles Debrille Poston (1825-1902) was an American explorer, prospector, author, politician, and civil servant. He is referred to as the "Father of Arizona" due to his efforts lobbying for creation of the territory. He was also Arizona Territory's first Delegate to the U. S. House of Representatives. In 1867 he travelled to Europe, spending time in both London and Paris. He then returned to Washington and in 1868 published a travel book, Europe in the Summer-Time. This was followed by US Secretary of State William H. Seward commissioning Poston to deliver the Burlingame Treaty to the Emperor of China. He reached Egypt by early 1869 and was in Paris by April of that year. After living a year in Paris he moved to London where he spent the next six years. During this time he worked as an editor of a London newspaper, foreign correspondent to the New York Tribune, and as a "counselor-at-law". His other works include: The Parsees (1872), The Sun Worshippers of Asia (1877), Apache Land (1878) and Building a State in Apache Land (1894).
