Tracing the remarkable history of Tucson, Arizona since 1854, this book reveals multiple aspects of the community - its numerous ceremonies and customs, its multitude of problems, its long list of accomplishments, and its racial divides. It examines why the Tucson of today is the way it is - a diverse metropolitan region of almost one million people that sprawls across the Sonoran Desert.

Once considered the "Metropolis of Arizona," Tucson is in many respects a college town with a major military base onto which a retirement community has been grafted. A sprawling city of one million in the Sonoran Desert, Tucson was developed during and especially for the second half of the 20th century, a reality which has left it possibly unprepared for the challenges of the 21st century.

Tracing the remarkable history of Tucson since 1854, this book describes many aspects of the community--its ceremonies and customs, its early bitter battle to secure the University of Arizona, its multitude of problems, its noteworthy successes and its racial divides. The recollections of those who have made Tucson such a memorable place are included, from political leaders to celebrities to ordinary residents.
