I make an effort to learn something about every city I relocate to; and its books like Taltons that make it easy and enjoyable to learn the essential facts you need to know to make my stay more interesting and informed. I would recommend his book as required reading for the many new emigrants that flood into Phoenix/Arizona every year from other states.1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Great VistaBy Wayne B.Jon Talton has poured his heart into his written story of Phoenix. He gathered the basic historical data and wove life and personality into a multi-textural blanket that covers the true history of Phoenix founding and development. Entertaining. Educational.
