Old West. Adventures in Arizona

U.S.A.: Golden West Publishers. To western historians and lovers of the Old West, these places are deeply fascinating. Where there was only virgin wilderness, where there was no touch of the hand of man, some hardy forebear made an outpost of civilization in a new land. We want to know who they were, why they came, what their life was like, why they left. What people of history, famous and notorious, prominent or obscure, may have dwelled there or passed by? Even in these late days we yearn to reach out and touch it, see it, be a part of it ourselves. Their place names are touched with romance - camp, well, pass, spring, flat station - from the nation's western heritage in which Americans still have a deep interest. There are no more of them; words like subdivision, condonimium, apartment and suburb can never replace them. To read these stories is to rediscover a past which many have never heard. Illustrated with B/W photos and maps. Some underlining on a few pages. . Very Good. Soft cover. 1st Paperback Edition. 1989.
