Arizona Place Names

Fascinating and educational. I took a class from Dr. Granger at the University of Arizona (many, many years ago) and have wanted to get the book for a long time.

All you need to know, and more.

Fantastic review of the origins of all the place names in Arizona. Detailed, but with anecdotes from history to give life to the state. Great maps make finding everything easy. This books must have taken years to compile. If Arizona history interests you get this book.
