Description
Arivada Ferry, owned by Jim Cashman and operated by Pop Emery. Its primary purpose was to provide a way for Arizonans to get to Nevada where prohibition was not as strictly enforced.
Transcribed Notes: Transcribed from photo sleeve: "Arivada Ferry, 1916-1920. This ferry was owned by Jim Cashman and operated by Pop Emery (standing, in picture). Originally located at the upper end of Cottonwood Island, a few miles below where the Cottonwood Cove Resort is located, it was later moved due to lack of business to TriState, Nevada, where it served for a short time between the Katherine Mine in Arizona and the TriState Mine in Nevada. Its main purpose here was to provide a way for Arizonans to get to Nevada where prohibition laws were not strictly enforced."

Kogan, Harry
Harry Kogan was born March 11, 1916 to poor Russian immigrant parents in the Jewish ghetto of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Kogan sometimes walked to school shoeless, with no hat nor a raincoat. A treat would be his mother handing him ten-cents to go to the theater and enjoy a silent movie. After graduating from high school in 1933, Kogan quickly took one of the rare jobs available in a garment manufacturing company where he worked his way into being a skilled and valued fabric cutter—a job that paid $35 a week.
