Cultural Corridors of Pima County Guidebook with companion CD

This 114 page cultural tourism guidebook takes travelers off-the-beaten-path and into the hinterlands of Pima County, Arizona, to explore some of the area's most unique communities and attractions. The book divides the county into Western and Southern corridors stretching from Tucson to the Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge and from the Old Pueblo to the Mexican border. Along the way, stories are told by ranchers and miners, a Pascua Yaqui poet and a Tohono O'odham elder, and Old Time Fiddlers including the Southwest's most popular banjo pickin' folklorist, Jim Griffith.
