 Charleston was the home of the people who processed the ore from various mines in the area. It was established in 1878. Some histories state that Charleston was a peaceful town, others claim Charleston was more dangerous than Tombstone. The reality was that after the "gunfight at the OK Corral," and the "vendetta ride," the town and the area in general area became more peaceful. A large Sonoran Earthquake destroyed Charleston on May 3rd, 1887. The only traces of the old town are the remains of the old adobe buildings. Old photographs indicate that building materials were taken from the ruins such as metal and bricks were removed and used somewhere else. A large Sonoran Earthquake destroyed it on May 3rd, 1887.

It was from a woman named Betty with a series of numbers following the name. I wasn’t doing anything anyway, so I looked at her page. She wasn’t dressed sexy, and the pictures were of an attractive young lady dressed professionally.  We began texting, and I truly loved the way she made me feel. I loved the way she wrote and I appreciated all of the ideas she was sharing and I was enjoying what was happening.  And I still had another long day on the bus, so I just kept texting. We arrived in Dallas for a bus transfer ten minutes late for my bus, and this had increased my travel time by 10 hours. I slept little.  The next day we boarded another bus and this time I sat in the first set of seats on the bus and shared them with others off and on. I reconnected with “Betty” and began texting again. I enjoyed every word she wrote ...
