  • Arizona Historic Bridge Inventory | Pages 164-191

The original study employed 1945 as a cut-off date. This study inventories and evaluates all of the pre-1964 vehicular bridges and grade separations currently maintained in ADOT’s Structure Inventory and Appraisal [SI&A] listing. It includes all structures of all struc- tural types in current use on the state, county and city road systems. Additionally it includes bridges on selected federal lands (e.g., National Forests, Davis-Monthan Air Force Base) that have been included in the SI&A list. Generally not included are railroad bridges other than highway underpasses; structures maintained by federal agencies (e.g., National Park Service) other than those included in the SI&A; structures in private ownership; and structures that have been dismantled or permanently closed to vehicular traffic. There are exceptions to this, however, and several abandoned and/or privately owned structures of particular impor- tance have been included at the discretion of the consultant. The bridges included in this Inventory have not been evaluated as parts of larger road structures or historic highway districts, although they are clearly integral parts of larger highway resources.

  • Linen, Section 2, G to Indians
    Arizona, Linen Radio Cards Post Card Collection Section 2—G to Indians-Apache By Al Ring LINEN ERA (1930-1945 (1960?) New American printing processes allowed printing on postcards with a high rag content. This was a marked improvement over the “White Border” postcard. The rag content also gave these postcards a textured “feel”. They were also cheaper to produce and allowed the use of bright dyes for image coloring. They proved to be extremely popular with roadside establishments seeking cheap advertising. Linen postcards document every step along the way of the building of America’s highway infra-structure. Most notable among the early linen publishers was the firm of Curt Teich. The majority of linen postcard production ended around 1939 with the advent of the color “chrome” postcard. However, a few linen firms (mainly southern) published until well into the late 50s. Real photo publishers of black & white images continued to have success. Faster reproducing equipment and lowering costs led to an explosion of real photo mass produced postcards. Once again a war interfered with the postcard industry (WWII). During the war, shortages and a need for military personnel forced many postcard companies to reprint older views WHEN printing material was available. Photos at 43%.

  • Mules and the Grand Canyon”, a Four Part Series, by Terry Wagner
    IF THEY CAN DO IT AT THE GRAND CANYON THEY CAN DO IT ANYWHERE! By Ben Tennison, Editor In Chief, Western Mule Magazine Our American heritage is in jeopardy today. Who would have believed one of the great icons of our western her - itage, The Grand Canyon Mules would be in jeopardy in our lifetime. Western Mule Magazine broke this news of plans underway to do away with The Grand Canyon Mule trips within the Grand Canyon National Park back in September 2008. Western Mule readers’ response to the article was tremendous, with phone calls, letters and emails to the park service and to government officials. This outcry of in - justice by readers prompted a letter from Park Superintendent Steve Martin himself calling the article erroneous, with only a temporary diversion of mule traffic on the Grand Canyon National Park trails. Steve Martin’s response was published before Superintendent Martin knew who Western Mule Magazine’s source was. We have had no re - sponse from the Park Service since our source was publicly revealed. I have sent along a pdf file of the entire set of articles published in Western Mule Magazine since September 2008 on the Grand Canyon and the famous Grand Canyon Mules. With a tremendous amount of research from Western Mule Magazine contributor, Terry Wagner, these articles will take you where this battle began, through an in depth history of the Grand Canyon and the mules, up to current operations of today. Even though we here at Western Mule Magazine have known of the move to do away with the mules of the Grand Canyon for over a year now, we were of the belief everyone knew about it.
