Arizona Oddities by Marshall Trimble
Arizona has stories as peculiar as its stunning landscapes. The Lost Dutchman's rumored cache of gold sparked a legendary feud. Kidnapping victim Larcena Pennington Page survived two weeks alone in the wilderness, and her first request upon rescue was for a chaw of tobacco. Discover how the town of Why got its name, how the government built a lake that needed mowing and how wild camels ended up in North America. Author Marshall Trimble unearths these and other amusing anomalies, outstanding obscurities and compelling curiosities in the state's history.Marshall Trimble was born and raised in Ash Fork during the heyday of the railroads and Route 66. He began his career in the 1960s as an Arizona native folk singer, and today he is the official state historian of Arizona and the author of more than 20 books. Trimble has been teaching Arizona history for more than 35 years and is a renowned performance and convention speaker in the state.
