Description

Tucson is a history of time and a river. The roots of prehistoric habitation run deep along the Santa Cruz River, reaching back thousands of years. Later the river attracted 17th-century Spanish explorers, who brought military government, the church, and colonists to establish the northern outpost of their New World empire. Later still, American westward expansion drew new settlers to the place called Tucson. Today Tucson is a bustling multicultural community of more than one million residents. These images from the photographic archives of the Arizona Historical Society tell the stories of individuals and cultures that transformed a 19th-century frontier village into a 20th-century desert city.

Having lived near downtown Tucson Arizona for the past 41 years I've always been curious about the layout of the town and the older more historic buildings, of which unfortunately fewer and fewer are still standing, and wondered about their origin and earlier uses. The photos in this book bring to much of my curiosity. It's like walking through the Arizona Historical Society Museum without leaving your favorite chair. The photos used in the book are of very good quality and very defined. The descriptions by Anne Woosley are concise without being boring. While traveling in our truck and travel trailer around the United States, my wife and I try to pick up an "Images of America" book at what ever point of interest or interesting city/town we visit. It appears that Arcadia Publishing now has the whole country pretty well covered with this series of books.
