This listing is for 1 copy of1877 ARIZONA AS IT WAS. by Hiram C. Hodge. Author Hodge came to Arizona long before it became a state (which was 1912), seeking its climate to relieve suffering from bronchial and pulmonary diseases, as did many others during this and later periods (in his case it seems to have worked). He toured what is now the state in 1874, 1875, and 1876 observing and writing articles, first publishing in book form in 1877 as Arizona As It Is, Or The Coming Country...through Hurd and Houghton of New York City. Hodge wrote on Arizona's mineral, agricultural, grazing, and other resources--and of its climate, scenery, and prehistoric ruins. The book's 28 chapters tell further how the U. S. acquired the territory from Mexico, origin of the name Arizona, mission church at San Xavier, of its mountains, rivers, forests, flora, wild animals, towns, Indian tribes, schools, railroads, newspapers, military posts, travel routes and distances, and also the prices of produce, provisions, and labor. Rio Grande Press reproduced Hodge's book first in 1962 as Arizona as it was 1877, then again in 1965 as 1877 Arizona as it was, the book described here. Introduction is by United States Senator Barry Goldwater. The present copy was acquired directly from the publisher by VistaBooks and has never circulated, so is in that sense new; it is also Very Good or Fine as some use those terms. 273 pages, map, a few illustrations, index.
