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.

It Seems Like Only Yesterday: Mining And Mapping In Arizona's First Century: The Yuma Years
If you're interested in women's suffrage, this is simply a "must read." The speeches and essays in this book were clearly selected with care to form a complete picture of the history of women's suffrage in the United States, beginning long before the Seneca Falls convention. The works of Elizabeth Cady Stanton, one of America's truly great rhetors, are featured prominently but not without thought. One can trace the origins of the rhetoric, the splintering of the movement in the late 1800s, and then the final push for voting rights, including all the critical final efforts of Carrie Chapman Catt. Totally comprehensive with only minimal (but excellent) editorializing. Put together just perfectly.
