Amazing Arizona-Fascinating Facts, Legends & Tall Tales!

Arizona is unique among American states, not only in its geography and geology but also in the diversity of its climate, in its indigenous animal and plant life, and in the history of its first inhabitants—communities of Indians some of whose ancestors arrived on the scene more than 15,000 years ago.

Arizona is also the youngest of the contiguous mainland states of America…precisely because of these very same factors. Its climate, geography and Indian tribes were major barriers that prevented the territory from becoming widely populated by the Spanish, Mexicans and early European-Americans—and from being used as a crossroads by American fur/pelt trappers, gold prospectors and settlers who began pushing west in the mid-1800s.

Now, it is exactly these same factors that make Arizona a great place to live as well as a world-famous travel destination. AMAZING ARIZONA is a fascinating collection of stories about the Indians, the Spanish Conquistadors, the Mexican settlers and finally the Americans who laid the foundation for what Arizona is today…along with descriptions of the state’s most outstanding attractions.

The stories of how Arizona finally became what it is today are as amazing as the lay and the beauty of the land. The book is great reading for residents and visitors alike, an ideal gift, and a great promotional tool for the tourism industry.
