The name was selected in honor of General George Crook, who was a descendant of Revolutionary ancestors and a prominent figure in local history. When Fort Whipple was first established by the war department, General Crook was in charge of military operations in this part of Arizona and was a leading factor in finally securing a peaceful foothold with the Native Americans near Prescott and in Camp Verde. He was held in high esteem by the pioneers of Prescott. Fourteen women were included in the list of those organizing the chapter, and a number of others were added when their applications were approved by the national society. Sharlot Hall was among the charter members. The collection consists of the administrative records of the chapter, scrapbooks and photographs, as well as some state and national material. The comprehensive dates of the records range from 1927 through 2004.
