Travel – The
Lure of Cochise Stronghold – Text by Tom Dollar; Photographs by Jack Dykinga –
Once an Apache fortress—until he cavalry asserted itself with cannons—this vast
canyon’s beauty today beckons the history guru and the Nature lover alike.
History –
Cochise and Tom Jeffords Mortal Enemies; Close Friends – Text by C L
Sonnichsen; Illust4ations by Gary Bennett – Some said they were blood brothers,
this red-bearded loner and the great Chiricahua Apache leader. In 1867, at a
time when the white man and the Indian were killing each other indiscriminately,
it was a most unlikely fraternization.
Nostalgia –
Leather Helmets and Iron Men – Text by Stan Smith; Photographs by Steve
Dreiseszun – Few pay attention to fire fighters anymore, despite the times they
risk their lives for strangers. But George Getz does. And he’s spent much of
his life ensuring others will too.
Portfolio –
Tiptoeing through Slickrock – Photographs by Coby Jordan – The sweeping and
voluptuous shapes of naturally sculpted Navajo sandstone are the subjects that
this photographer finds most stimulating as he pokes around in Arizona’s
less-frequented corners.
Outdoor
Recreation – Mountain Biking along Railroad Byways – Text by Tom Dollar;
Photographs by Jack Dykinga – Abandoned railroad grades offer a distinct
challenge to mountain-bike riders. Come along as we “ride the rails” to explore
new trails.
Profile –
Bill Mauldin: Drawing on the Past – Text by Susan Hazen-Hammond – Cartoonist Bill
Mauldin, who began painting tires in Phoenix and became the Pulitzer
Prize-winning creator of WWII’s Willie and Joe, has turned to sculpture.
Travel –
Where the Old Southwest Lives On – Text by James Boyer; Photographs by Edward
McCain – Here at Old Tucson, part history lesson, part theme park, reality
follows a script.
Legend –
Lost Loot of Skeleton Canyon – Text by James Boyer; Illustrations by Kateri
Weiss – Millions in gold and diamonds lie hidden somewhere in the canyons of
southeastern Arizona: a legendary hoard soaked in the blood of Mexican bandits
waylaid bhy members of Curley Brocius’ gang.
Hiking – Our
Hike of the Month: Romero Canyon – Text by Lawrence W Cheek; Photographs by
Randy Prentice – Trails galore exist in this mountain park, form low-desert
treks to near-Alpine climbs. We introduce you to a fairly easy six-mile
round-tripper, offering some of the best canyon scenery to be found in southern
Arizona.
Along The
Way – They exist all right, but few fishermen have ever landed one of the
lunker cats of the Colorady River.
