The most notable being General George Crook's Tonto Basin Campaign of 1872 and 1873.

“Usually the scenery about them is drear and savage enough; and the logger’s camp is as completely in the woods as a fungus at the foot of a pine in a swamp; no outlook but to the sky overhead; no more clearing than is made by cutting down the trees of which it is built, and those which are necessary for fuel.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Every seventh year you shall grant a remission of debts.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Deuteronomy 15:1.
