Travels In Arizona - Old Tucson

By Paul Moore

Illios Publishing
Released: 2012-02-28
Kindle Edition

Travels In Arizona - Old Tucson
 
Product Description:
Approximately 130 pages with more than 120 color images

Old Tucson is a rather interesting place in that it is quite a bit younger than "New Tucson." The city of Tucson was officially founded in 1776 and the area had been occupied for at least 4,000 years by the Hohokam native Americans. Old Tucson on the other hand was created in 1939 by Columbia Studios as a movie set for the film "Arizona" staring William Holden and Jean Arthur.

It has grown considerably since then and has been the home for more than 300 movie films and television productions. It has seen actors like John Wayne, Frank Sinatra, and Bing Crosby. It is now a theme park and a fully functional film studio open to the public. - This entire work was shot on film by the author in keeping with the old nature of the subject matter.

The photographer currently has fine art photography on exhibit at The Center for Fine Arts in Globe, Arizona.

Product Description:

A comprehensive guide to Tucson and surrounding areas with hundreds of lodging, dining, and recreational recommendations.

Explore the friendly, laid-back, border city of Tucson with this comprehensive addition to the Great Destinations series. This place of red deserts, awe-inspiring mountains, and cactus forests is also replete with history: Tucson was originally settled by ancient Native American peoples, Spanish explorers, and Anglo frontiersmen, and their legacy is clearly evident.

While the Tucson area holds special appeal for naturalists, hikers, and birdwatchers, there are countless outdoor recreation options available—everything from ballooning to trail riding on horseback—and myriad indoor options like museums and galleries, music and dance performances, too. Tucson’s world-class resorts and spas, along with its top-rated golf courses, make it one of the best relaxation destinations in the country. And there’s no better Sonoran food north of the Mexican border than here in the Old Pueblo. Tucson offers something for everyone.

Detailed maps and the author’s selective recommendations make this book a must-have for travelers and residents alike. 100 black-and-white photographs and maps
