Thoroughly researched,
By A Customer
This review is from: Art Treasures and Museums In and Around Prescott, Arizona (Paperback)
This book is a wonderful guide to both well-known and less popular points of interest in the Prescott area. The historical detail has obviously been well researched and is very fascinating, making the book an invaluable, must-have companion. The accompanying photographic documentation is also very complete.
