Arizona, the Grand Canyon State: A State GuideHastings House, 1956 - 532 páginas "THE ARIZONA GUIDE seeks to tell the story of the wide-open spaces, the color that nature has generously splashed, of towns continuously inhabited prior to the coming of the white man, and of the missions. It contrasts the air-cooled-by-nature, pine clad northern area with the air-cooled-by-man desert area of central Arizona. It gives credit to the dry farmer raising beans and corn, to the farmer in the irrigated citrus, lettuce, cantaloupe, and alfalfa belt, and to the miners of gold, copper, and other minerals. The dude ranch and the cattle ranch, the modern city and the primitive Indian village, the public school, climaxing in the colleges of higher learning, and the private school are portrayed. Tales of the old west are presented as mention is made of modern writers. The pictograph receives attention and so does modern art. Arizona is a delightful haven for the retired, an opportunity for the ambitious young. Arizona is a study of contrasts, and this GUIDE is your guide so that you may know Arizona"--Foreword by Thomas J. Tormey, Former President, Arizona State College at Flagstaff |
