The unforgiving terrain challenged farming skills, required homesteading talents and presented dangers from American Indian conflicts. Helping to ease the settlers’ plight with a helping hand, astute business advice and advocacy for education and other fundamentals of civilization were Manuela Sanchez Sotelo and her daughter Maria Sotello Miller. Arriving in the valley in 1871, the Sotelo women nurtured the people and community of what is now known as Tempe for nearly half a century.Video Length00:04:47Date Original2011-04Date Range1870s (1870-1879)1880s (1880-1889)1890s (1890-1899)1900s (1900-1909)1910s (1910-1919)1920s (1920-1929)1930s (1930-1939)1940s (1940-1949)1950s (1950-1959)1960s (1960-1969)1970s (1970-1979)1980s (1980-1989)1990s (1990-1999)2000s (2000-2009)2010s (2010-2019)TypeMoving ImageOriginal FormatOral historiesLanguageEnglishContributing InstitutionRaúl H.
