The book contains over 250 original photographs from the families living in the five camps. They enable the reader an opportunity to envision the lives of the residents. There are fascinating stories written by the authors of hard work, church, school and family coming together with a strong sense of community. This book is to record the lasting imprint they left on the Southwest area of Arizona and to preserve their precious memories for years to come.
