"This volume contains World War II experiences and a few "guest authors." Included are Robson's Mining World, the History of Mining in the Bagdad area, and Seantor Boyd Tenney's remarkable legislative career. Fewer narrators with longer stories mine the cultural history lode of this area a little deeper. These appealing from-the-heart accounts will make you smile and perhaps long for the simpler days in Yavapai County in the first half of the 20th century" -- Cover p. [4].
