Arizona Oddities: Land of Anomalies & Tamales

by Marshall Trimble

Arizona has stories as peculiar as its stunning landscapes. The Lost Dutchman's rumored cache of gold sparked a legendary feud. Kidnapping victim Larcena Pennington Page survived two weeks alone in the wilderness, and her first request upon rescue was for a chaw of tobacco. Discover how the town of Why got its name, how the government built a lake that needed mowing and how wild camels ended up in North America. Author Marshall Trimble unearths these and other amusing anomalies, outstanding obscurities and compelling curiosities in the state's history.

Great book!

I find Arizona history quite interesting. Arizona really was the wild West in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Possibly still is?! Great book to read lots of interesting facts.
