About the Author

Preserving Florence's unique heritage was a compelling reason for this book. A team of authors affiliated with the Pinal County Historical Society Museum in Florence gathered more than 200 photographs from the museum archives, the Arizona Historical Society, professional photographers Louise L. Serpa, Pedro E. Guerrero, and Dixie Legler, and other private collections to bring to life the story of a town whose history is, in many ways, the story of Arizona itself.
