Destination: Arizona
Look beyond the sprawl and congestion of this desert state with books from Wallace Stegner, Geronimo and Barbara Kingsolver -- and an unlikely guide to the Grand Canyon.
By Stephen Amidon [2006-06-15]

  • Cadillac Desert

    The Literary Guide to the World is really a great idea. There is a great tradition of travel literature that most travelers know little about.

    I'm glad that Cadillac Desert was mentioned by the author of the Arizona article. In my opinion, its one of the best non-fiction books of the last 30 years. Its very well-researched, interesting, and startling. Once you read it, it will change your view of the American west forever.

    All of the Hillerman books are great too.

    Monument Valley is located in Utah, not Arizona.
