By Marshall Tremble, official State Historian of Arizona. The last of the lower forty-eight to gain statehood in 1912, Arizona
now tops the list of best places to live and visit. For the history
behind this current status, join Arizona official state historian and
beloved raconteur Marshall Trimble on the state's highways and byways.
Along the way meet Fathers Eusebio Kino and Francisco Garces,
Non-Assessable Smith, Ned Beale and his camels, Nellie Bush and her
steamboats, "Great Western" Sarah Bowman, and the Navajo Code Talkers.
Find out why Why's called Why; where Arizona's Civil War battlefields
are; what happens at the Zuni River Reservation where no Zuni live; and
the possible whereabouts of the Lost Six-Shooter Mine. From Fredonia to
Naco, Oatman to Show Low, Ganado to the London Bridge, visitors,
newcomers, and old-timers alike will delight in this classic of history
and travel. Originally published in 1986, now updated, expanded, and
redesigned.
Softcover; 489 pages.
