DOUBLEDAY

The tiny community of Ash Fork lies on the juniper-studded hills some 15 miles west of Bill Williams Mountain. Founded in 1882 when the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad was laying tracks for a transcontinental railroad, Ash Fork became an important rail junction by 1895 when another new line was built, this one south to Phoenix. The storied Route 66 opened in 1926 and U.S. Highway 89 not long after, making Ash Fork the most important link between Northern and Southern Arizona by both rail and highway. By the mid-20th century, however, rail routes changed and Interstate 40 opened a half-mile south of town, stopping overnight the flow of traffic through Ash Fork. While many residents were forced to leave, those who remained stubbornly refused to concede defeat. As the new century dawned, the citizens of Ash Fork had developed a new community spirit and hopes for a brighter future.

Diamond in the Rough: An Illustrated History of Arizona by Marshall Trimble (Arizona's official State Historian) tells the story of this great state in colorful language with over four hundred photographs and illustrations. During the 1850s, when the American occupation began, Arizona was a remote western part of the New Mexico territory, still unmapped and unsettled. The new residents clamored for separate status from New Mexico, and in 1863 the new territory of Arizona was created. The fabulous lodes of gold and silver in the 1860s focused national attentionn on the new territory; however, nature kept out all but the hardiest of pioneers. The arrival of railroads in the 1880s was a dramatic achievement. The elements - incessant wind, long droughts, and searing heat, not to mention the intractable Apaches, gunslingers, and an immoral majority of unchurched, unmarried, and unwashed citizens - gave Arizona a notorious reputation that spread far and wide.
