The Morenci I knew is long gone: the town site. the hospital. the schools I attended. the homes we lived in. were all torn down or buried. engulfed by the expanding open pit mine. Many thanks to the authors for their research into the history of this interesting area and especially for all the old photos..2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.

Nice chapters on various aspects of the towns and the industry. Especially poignant. since the original town of Morenci. Arizona was gradually obliterated by the open pit mining process and these photos are all that remain. along with artifacts and photos in the Greenlee County Museum.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Great imagery of a bygone era of Arizona historyBy Jason SchernWonderful imagery of my home town. The history is fascinating and youll love trying to identify where the old photos were taken in relation to childhood memories. It would be great to have included some maps rather than having to jump through the mental exercises of the location descriptions. All my family are getting this for Christmas.
