"Arizona's geologic riches share more than 1,000 years of history with the state's agricultural development. Hundreds of years before the Spanish arrived, Native Americans mined and farmed Arizona's bountiful terrain. Today, modern mining ruins and abandoned farms populate diverse regions of the state and offer the curious explorer much insight into centuries-old mining techniques and farming practices. Abandoned Arizona: Mining and Memories delves, photographically, into several of Arizona's scarcely settled mining and farming areas."--Back cover.
