This book celebrates the colorful history of the Verde Valley from its prehistoric settlements to the Arizona State Centennial Celebration in 2012.

This book will illustrate the history of the ,Verde, from the ruins of the lost civilization to the first Anglo farming efforts along Clear Creek and the military presence at Camp Verde.
