{"product_id":"around-yavapai-county-nancy-burgess-9781531652555","title":"Around Yavapai County: Celebrating Arizona's Centennial","description":"On February 23, 1863, Pres. Abraham Lincoln signed the bill creating the Territory of Arizona. The first Arizona Territorial Legislature established the capital at Prescott and met in September 1864. They divided the territory into four counties: Mohave, Pima, Yavapai, and Yuma. Yavapai County, the \"mother county,\" consisted of approximately 65,000 square miles and was believed to be the largest county in the United States. By the time Arizona attained statehood on February 14, 1912, there were 14 counties, and Yavapai County had been reduced in size to 8,125 square miles. Yavapai County has a rich history in mining, ranching, farming, military, and business. Today, Yavapai County is a thriving, growing county with nine incorporated cities and towns and numerous unincorporated communities, such as Ash Fork, Black Canyon City, Cornville, Mayer, and Skull Valley. Historic sites include Sharlot Hall Museum in Prescott, the town of Jerome, Fort Verde, Montezuma's Castle and Well, and Tuzigoot.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nancy Burgess, Karen DeSpain on Behalf of the Ariz, Karen DeSpain\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1531652557\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531652555\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/05\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.38d","brand":"Nancy Burgess","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43979951374591,"sku":"9781531652555","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dfcb73d6-6aae-4ed9-95ca-9145a03de436.jpg?v=1683247544","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/around-yavapai-county-nancy-burgess-9781531652555","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
