SUMMARY:The Mighty Colorado River: From its Sources to the Sea - Yuma
DESCRIPTION:The Mighty Colorado River: From its Sources to the Sea\nJim Turner has traced the Green and Colorado rivers from their beginnings as clear bubbling glacial springs high in the mountains\, then through roaring canyons in Utah\, Arizona\, and Nevada\, and finally to the salt flats in Mexico. Stunning photographs tell the story of the rivers’ two thousand miles of scenic wonders\, geography\, wildlife\, history\, recreation\, politics\, and local culture. \nBefore retiring from the Arizona Historical Society\, Jim Turner worked with more than 70 museums in every corner of the state. He is co-author of the 4th-grade textbook The Arizona Story\, and his pictorial history book\, Arizona: Celebration of the Grand Canyon State\, contains more than 530 images. Jim moved to Tucson in 1951\, earned a M.A. in U.S. history from the University of Arizona\, and has been researching and teaching Arizona history for more than 40 years.

SUMMARY:The Life and Times of Tom Jeffords\, Friend of Cochise - Yuma
DESCRIPTION:Tom Jeffords grew up in Ashtabula\, OH\, without much education and was promoted to lake captain in his early twenties. The lure of making his fortune called Tom west to the Pike’s Peak Gold Rush\, the San Juan Rush and to the Colorado River. He scouted and was dispatch rider for the Army during the Civil War and was present at its bloodiest battle. After the war\, he prospected\, scouted and helped start Tucson’s mail service. Along the way\, he met Cochise\, then the most feared Apache chief\, and the two became friends so that he was able to guide General O.O. Howard to the chief and negotiate peace. \nDoug Hocking is an independent scholar who has completed advanced studies in American history\, ethnology and historical archaeology. He is a retired Army officer who has lived among the Jicarilla Apache and paisanos of the Rio Arriba (Northern New Mexico). He writes both fiction and history and is currently working on a biography of Tom Jeffords and has two historical novels in print: Massacre at Point of Rocks and Mystery of Chaco Canyon.
