Arizona, the wonderland; the history of its ancient cliff and cave dwellings, ruined pueblos, conquest by the Spaniards, Jesuit and Franciscan missions, trail makers and Indians; a survey of its climate, scenic marvels, topography, deserts, mountains, rivers and valleys; a review of its industries; an account of its influence on art, literature and science; and some reference to what it offers of delight to the automobilist, sportsman, pleasure and health seekerBy George Wharton JamesWith a map and sixty plates, of which twelve are in colour . f California, Harry of the Los Angeles Museum of History, Scienceand Art, and Mrs. J. H. Wheeler of Tucson, have allgiven special aid. I have also received much help from Mrs. MargaretArmstrongs Field Book of Western Wild Flowers, andfrom the files of Arizona, a complete set of which wereplaced at my disposal by C. S. Scott, the editor. Mostof the secretaries of the Chambers of Commercethroughout the state, and Dr. George Otis Smith, Di-rector of the U. S. Geological Survey; Dr. F. W. Hodge,Director of the Bureau of North American Ethnology;Dr. Herbert E. Bolton, of the University of California,without doubt the greatest living authority upon thedocumentary history of the Southwest, have been kindlyhelpful, and to them all I tender my sincerest andheartiest thanks. If my readers enjoy reading as much as I have en-joyed writing this book, and if it bring a larger knowl-edge to others as to what Arizona actually is, its objectwill have been fully attained.
