Arizona is one of the fastest-growing states in the nation. Its population and buildings are booming, but Arizona still conjures up images of the frontier—Saguaro cacti, Indian reservations, cowboys, and the staggeringly beautiful Grand Canyon. With this attractive album edition, discover Arizona of Yesteryear in this extraordinary pictorial history. Archival photographs showcase the stunning landscapes and incredible natural beauty of Arizona from the turn of the century through the mid–1900s. Learn about the rich cultural heritage of Arizona through portraits captured by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange and others. Faces of early Arizonians—including Hopi and Maricopa Indians, cowboys, Oklahoma refugees, and Mexican laborers—bring the history of the state to life. The Grand Canyon has long been symbolic of Arizona, and one of the most popular destinations for tourists worldwide. Even in the 1800s, people flocked to the rim of the canyon to contemplate the power of Mother Nature—before there were guardrails! Witness the early development of Arizona, including images of the Southern Pacific Railroad at Maricopa and the awe-inspiring construction of both the Hoover and Roosevelt dams. Explore Arizona’s historic architecture, including San Xavier del Bec in Tucson, Mission Tumacacori, Pima Indian huts, and the Anasazi "White House" ruins.
