Great Read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
This book is fasinating. Follows the Gila River from New Mexico to the Colorado River. Tells a great story about Mexico, Arizona and New Mexico. Starting with the Priest coming up from Mexico, the first explorers of the area and follows all the way to the early 50s. Great read, fun book if you like history.
