Across America; from big cities to small towns and rural hamlets; there are many stories of challenges; historic events; courageous people; tragedy; and success. Some of the best and most exciting tales may not be well known. Such is the case for the towns of Clifton and Morenci; Arizona. They survived labor strikes; rising and falling copper prices; devastating floods; outlaws and lawlessness; gambling houses; and saloons. All this added to the lore that these towns were some of the roughest communities in the West. Today; after 143 years of mining; Freeport-McMoRan�s Morenci copper mine is the largest in North America. Expansion has required new homes in Clifton-Morenci; a modern library; and recreational facilities. Residents are proud of their communities.
