  • John W. "Jack" Swilling (April 1, 1830 – August 12, 1878) was an early pioneer in the Arizona Territory. He is commonly credited as one of the original founders of the city of Phoenix, Arizona. Swilling also played an important role in the opening of the central Arizona highlands to white settlement. His discoveries resulted in a gold rush to the region, and this in turn led to the establishment of Arizona's first territorial capital at the mining town of Prescott. Swilling was both a Confederate States Army minuteman and a civilian aid to the United States Army during the American Civil War. He worked in a variety of disciplines throughout his life, including as a teamster, prospector, mine and mill owner, and saloon and dance hall owner, as well as a canal builder, farmer, rancher, and public servant. All of this was accomplished while he suffered from periods of excruciating pain resulting from major injuries he suffered in 1854. He took morphine to assuage the pain, which led to dependency problems for the rest of his life. (en)
  • John W. « Jack » Swilling (1er avril 1830 - 12 août 1878) était un pionnier dans le territoire de l'Arizona. On lui attribue généralement la fondation de la ville de Phoenix. Swill a également joué un rôle important dans l'ouverture des hauts plateaux de l'Arizona à la colonisation blanche. Ses découvertes ont entraîné une ruée vers la région, ce qui a conduit à la création de la première capitale territoriale de l'Arizona à la ville minière de Prescott. Swilling était à la fois un minuteman de l'armée des États confédérés et une aide civile à l'armée des États-Unis pendant la guerre de Sécession. Il a un large éventail de disciplines, y compris une équipe, un prospecteur, un mineur et un propriétaire d'usine, et un agriculteur, un fermier, un ranch et un fonctionnaire. Tout cela a été accompli alors qu'il souffrait de périodes de douleur atroce résultant de blessures graves qu'il a subies en 1854. Il prit de la morphine pour atténuer la douleur, ce qui a entraîné des problèmes de dépendance pour le reste de sa vie. (fr)
  • John W. "Jack" Swilling (1º aprile 1830 – 12 agosto 1878) è stato un esploratore, imprenditore e pioniere statunitense, celebre soprattutto per essere stato il fondatore della città di Phoenix, in Arizona, nel 1867.In realtà, altri avevano visto e descritto i canali hohokam abbandonati della regione, ma fu Jack Swilling che ebbe la visione per organizzare e creare il primo riuscito, moderno progetto di irrigazione nella Valle del Salt River in Arizona. La "Swilling Irrigating and Canal Company" diede avvio alla piccola comunità agricola di Phoenix, che da allora si è sviluppata in un'importante area metropolitana. Swilling in precedenza ebbe un importante, ma per lo più dimenticato, ruolo nell'apertura alla colonizzazione delle zone montuose, prima inesplorate, dell'Arizona centrale. Le sue scoperte ebbero come risultato una grande corsa all'oro nella nuova area, e questo condusse a sua volta alla fondazione della prima Capitale Territoriale dell'Arizona nella città, nuova di zecca, di Prescott. Chiunque abbia anche solo un vago interesse alla storia dell'Arizona Territoriale sa di Jack Swilling. Salta fuori in luoghi e ruoli diversi in quasi tutte le storie sui primi giorni territoriali, ma mai come una persona completa. All'inizio fu conducente di carri, cercatore d'oro, proprietario di miniere e di fabbriche, nonché proprietario di saloon e di sale da ballo. Fu anche un visionario, un costruttore di canali, agricoltore, proprietario di ranch, politico e funzionario pubblico. È notevole che tutto questo fu realizzato da Swilling mentre soffriva di periodi di dolore lancinante derivante da precedenti ferite. (it)
