Their attendance and financial support of the theater was a measure of their civic pride and social consciousness. The plays they attended reflected their social and moral values, their taste, and their worship of theatrical celebrities. These men and women spent a considerable amount of their leisure time in the theater, often as much as three nights per week.

They built churches, founded choral societies and amateur theater troupes, and built libraries, multi-purpose halls, and "opera houses" where talented professional actors and their companies performed both the classics and contemporary melodramas, operas, minstrels shows, etc. The lawyers, judges, doctors, army officers, bankers, journalists, teachers, and businessmen and women who actually ran the towns were educated and culturally sophisticated people who yearned for the niceties of Atlantic Coast culture. They foster and perpetuate the notion that southwest mining towns in the nineteenth century were little more than battlefields and lawless dens of vice and corruption.

Most of the books that have been written about territorial Arizona and the southwest focus on the Indian Wars, outlaws, violent crimes, gambling, saloons, and bawdy houses.
