Arizona: A Photographic Tribute

Arizona, A Photographic Tribute, Centennial Edition has been designated an official Arizona Centennial Legacy Project by the Arizona Historical Advisory Commission,("Arizona, A Centennial Tribute on the Road.")
Celebrating the colorful legacy of Arizona's first 100 years of statehood, ARIZONA, A Photographic Tribute is a stunning celebration of the state's scenic wonders. Luminous color photographs feature the magnificent landscapes, timeless vistas, majestic landmarks, and cultural icons the Grand Canyon State is known for worldwide. John Annerino casts an artist's, adventurer's, and scholar's perspective on a renowned international destination he knows intimately. He weaves the state's natural history, legends, and storied human history into an evocative introductory essay. The gallery of color images features the iconic landmarks of Monument Valley, Grand Canyon, Painted Desert, Canyon de Chelly, Colorado River, Superstition Mountains, Cochise Stronghold, Sonoran Desert, Cabeza Prieta and many other national parks and monuments, state and tribal parks, historic sites, wildlife refuges, wilderness areas, and UNESCO Biosphere Reserves. Paired with each of these indelible images are literary quotes drawn from the records of Arizona's early explorers, missionaries, Native Americans, writers, and photographers, including Geronimo, John Wesley Powell, Mary Austin, John Ford, Zane Grey, Padre Kino, Everett Ruess, Theodore Roosevelt, Georgie White, Edward Abbey, and many other memorable figures long associated with Arizona's legacy. The journeys and adventures of these early travelers and first Arizonans defined their character as much as their prose, poetry, and images later defined our modern perceptions of Arizona's extraordinary Western landscape also shape this tribute to a magnificent place in the American landscape.
