Description: Historic Photos of Arizona highlights the unique history of this state as captured in nearly 200 images reproduced in vivid black-and-white. A photographic journey from the Wild West days of Arizona lore to the modern state Arizona was soon to become, the book showcases landscapes as varied as those of the Sonoran Desert and the state's Ponderosa pine forests.  From images of frontier life and copper mining Boomtowns, to turn-of-the-century Grand Canyon vistas, to Harvey Houses and Route 66, Historic Photos of Arizona presents a fascinating view of a changing land and the people who called it home, a land to which many are still drawn to fulfill their dreams today.
