The story of Sierra Vista, Arizona begins with Coronado's explorations of the southwestern desert in the sixteenth century, long before the 1877 establishment of Camp Huachuca, home of the famed 24th Infantry Buffalo Soldiers. Sierra Vista grew up in the fury of the silver and copper mining days surrounded by three stunning mountains and the San Perdro River. Once known as Fry, this frontier town bloomed from a virtually unpopulated settlement into the Hummingbird Capital of the World.

This is not a "comprehensive history" of Sierra Vista.,
By
This review is from: Sierra Vista: Young City with a Past (AZ) (Making of America Series) (Paperback)
Looking for a good book about Sierra Vista, save your money, this is not the book. This book is mostly about other parts of Cochise county and the friends of Ethel Jackson Price. Very little research done for the text, and the pictures & maps were not well captioned.
