Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Camelback Mountain, a 2,704-foot peak that bears a remarkable resemblance to a kneeling camel, is one of Phoenix's most visible and cherished landmarks. From the city's earliest days, Camelback has been a magnet for promoters and developers, drawing Phoenix's most colorful characters to it either for profit or rest. However, these modern dreamers were not the first to come under Camelback's spell. Many centuries ago, the earliest known inhabitants of the area made the mountain a sacred place. Today, most hikers are unaware of the rich history that surrounds them as they explore the natural beauty of Camelback Mountain. Enjoy the rich history of Arizona's Camelback Mountain in this collection of 15 historic black-and-white postcards.
