Arizona Myths and Legends explores unusual phenomena, strange
events, and mysteries in Arizona's history. From strange Grand
Canyon deaths, to ghosts at the Hotel Vendome, and the last
stagecoach robbery, settle in to learn all the scintillating and
unsettling details of the Grand Canyon State's mysterious history.
Saguaro cacti, desert landscapes, and the Grand Canyon may stand
out as prominent Arizona features, but this scorching state is also
home to bizarre places, personalities, events, and phenomena. These
unique and quirky aspects are humorously displayed in Arizona
Curiosities, a cross between a wacky news gazette, an almanac, and
a humorous travel guide.
Each volume in this series features approximately fifteen short
biographies of notorious bad guys, perpetrators of mischief,
visionary if misunderstood thinkers, and other colorful antiheroes
from the history of a given state. The villainous, the misguided,
and the misunderstood all get their due in these entertaining yet
informing books.
The Grand Canyon, Las Vegas, and the wide-open desert may stand out
as prominent Southwest features, but this region is also home to
bizarre places, personalities, events, and phenomena. These unique
and quirky aspects are humorously displayed in Southwest
Curiosities, a cross between a wacky news gazette, an almanac, and
a humorous travel guide. Amusing stories and unique black and white
photographs make this the perfect read for travelers, residents,
and anyone interested in adventure and a good laugh. Southwest
Curiosities is part of a GPP homegrown series of state-specific
books that describe, with humor and affection-and a healthy dose of
attitude-the oddest, quirkiest, and most outlandish places,
personalities, events, and phenomena found within the state's
borders and in the chronicles of its history. The series provides a
fun and accessible read for travelers and non travelers alike-a
great armchair book with quirky black and white photographs
throughout and maps for each region.
