Fascinating stories about thirty-four events that helped make Arizona what it is today. Read about overland explorers, Geronimo and the Apache warriors, Buffalo soldiers, and many more, including little-known episodes that shaped Arizona's colorful history.

It Happened in Arizona features thirty-six episodes from Arizona’s history—from the thirteenth-century creation of the Hohokam’s irrigation canals to the building of the Hoover Dam, and from
explorations of the Grand Canyon to a stagecoach robbery. This revised edition includes two new
chapters, a locator map, an updated design, and new/updated facts and figures.
