Synopsis

Excerpt from Arizona, the Wonderland: The History of Its Ancient Cliff and Cave Dwellings, Ruined Pueblos

These collections, however, deal largely. With Ari zona's past, or the wonderful families of Indians found today within her borders. Yet her claim to being the Wonderland of the United States is not limited by what these museums possess. She plays upon a far wider gamut of emotions than these few strings afford. Her mines have been, and still are, the wonder of the world, and her developments in modern irrigation are equally wonder-provoking. In her changes of character during the past half century Arizona is remarkable.
