In it is recounted the story of a certain Mrs. Pennington, who, venturing near the site of what we call Apache Mesa, was captured by the Apaches, tortured and left for dead in a dry wash. Only through her courageous tenacity was she able to walk back to the village at Continental where she found shelter and medical care. Pennington Street in downtown Tucson is named after her family which was instrumental in the settling of bustling western town just 20 miles north of the Mesa. 32 home sites sit on top of Apache Mesa. Each has approximately a deeded acre but give the impression of being much larger because of the expanse of open space which surround them.
Views are simply spectacular.
