Book Description
Arizona is a fascinating land of lofty mountains, spectacular canyons, ponderosa forests, living deserts, great rivers, mighty dams, broad mesas, mines, ranches, farms and orchards -- a land of contrasts and contradictions, never fully understood, but always loved by those who know the state. In this inaugural volume, Patrick Lavin explores and illuminates this 'land of contrasts', whose history is varied and fascinating as its landscapes. Complemented by illustrations and photographs, this volume traces Arizona from the prehistoric days of the Paleo-Indians to its admission into the Union in 1912, and beyond into the twenty-first century.

Book Description
Near the center of Arizona, in the foothills of the Bradshaw Mountains, lies the small, unincorporated town of Mayer. With a population of less than 1500 people, Mayer remains unknown to almost all but its residents and neighbors, but its history is as lively and resonant as many larger cities. This volume chronicles the story of this rural western town and the men and women who put it on the map, including its founders, Joseph and Sarah Mayer, who established their settlement around Big Bug Stage Station, purchased for $1200 in 1882. It traces the continued influence of the Mayers and other early families through later generations and the town's role in the growth of ranching, the railroad and mining. Covering a spectrum of topics integral to the history of central Arizona, this study depicts the uncompromising landscape and pioneering spirit that defines the western American frontier. There are 314 historical photographs included.
