Bob Lenon came to Yuma as a first-grader in 1914, only two years
after Arizona became the last of the contiguous 48 states to join
the union. He remembers vividly the transformation of that
primitive land, with dirt roads and tire tracks where Interstate
Highways stand today.
Bob grew up listening to tales of his neighbors--old prospectors
and miners. Inspired by them, he became a mining engineer and an
intrinsic part of the process by which copper, gold, and other
metals were extracted from Arizona rock. In his 90 years of
residence in Arizona, he has witnessed many changes, and, in fact,
he mapped a lot of them!
In this first of two volumes, he describes how his family came
from their ancestral home in Scotland to Pennsylvania, Iowa,
Nebraska, and finally Arizona. Then, in detail, he recalls the Yuma
he knew as a boy--a town of a few thousand souls with many stories
to tell. Now he is ready to tell his own.
