Post-war Experience
McClintock's discharge from the Rough Riders did not close out his military record, for in June, 1902, he was elected colonel of the First Arizona Infantry. Soon after he commanded the regiment in the most trying labor trouble ever known in the Southwest in a riot of thirty-five hundred miners at Morenci. He handled the situation with firmness, fully protecting the property involved and was gratified that his task was accompanied by no bloodshed. For eight years he was at the head of the regiment and for much of the time acted as adjutant general of Arizona. He served as president of the Rough Riders Association and is its historian. He was also the first commander of the' Spanish War Veterans for the Department of Arizona. The first field service that the National Guard of Arizona ever participated in was under the direction of Colonel McClintock in camps in Arizona and California. He is an acknowledged expert in military sanitation and camp arrangement and discipline.

Famous quotes containing the words post-war and/or experience:
“Much of what Mr. Wallace calls his global thinking is, no matter how you slice it, still “globaloney.” Mr. Wallace’s warp of sense and his woof of nonsense is very tricky cloth out of which to cut the pattern of a post-war world.”
—Clare Boothe Luce (1903–1987)
“After experience taught me that all the ordinary
Surroundings of social life are futile and vain;”
—William Dewitt Snodgrass (b. 1926)
