Overview
Hardcover with DJ in Very Good (VG) condition.
Travel to a destination that has a special place in the American imagination -- a beautiful land of deserts, mountains, plateaus, and canyons. A land whose geography and layers of culture give it a wonderfully distinctive character. The ancient cultures and their Indian descendants were followed in time by Spaniards who came up from Mexico with Coronado in search of gold. Anglos came next from the east, bringing railroads, mining, and ranching. More recently, especially since the advent of air-conditioning, scientists, artists, tourists, and retirees have flocked to the area. Over the centuries, each wave of people has added its contribution to the Southwest's unique blend of cultures and traditions, making it the fascinating place it is today.
