    Crowning the Queen of the Sonoran Desert: Tucson and Saguaro National Park An Administrative History Marcus Burtner University of Arizona 2011 Figure 1. Copper Pamphlet produced by Tucson Chamber of Commerce, SAGU257, Box 1, Folder 11, WACC. “In a canon near the deserted mission of Cocospera, Cereus giganteus was first met with. The first specimen brought the whole party to a halt. Standing alone upon a rocky projection, it rose in a single unbranched column to the height of some thirty feet, and formed a sight which seemed almost worth the journey to behold. Advancing into the canon, specimens became more numerous, until at length the whole vegetation was, in places, made up of this and other Cacaceae. Description can convey no adequate idea of this singular vegetation, at once so grand and dreary. The Opuntia arborescens and Cereus Thurberi, which had before been regarded with wonder, now seemed insignificant in comparison with the giant Cactus which towered far above.” George Thurber, 1855, Boundary Commission Report.1 Table of Contents 1 Asa Gray, ―Plantae Novae Thurberianae: The Characters of Some New Genera and Species of Plants in a Collection Made by George Thurber, Esq., of the Late Mexican Boundary ii List of Illustrations v List of Maps ix Introduction Crowning the Queen of the Desert 1 The Question of Social Value and Intrinsically Valuable Landscapes Two Districts with a Shared History Chapter 1 Uncertain Pathways to a Saguaro National Monument, 1912-1933 9 Saguaros and the Sonoran Desert A Forest of Saguaros Discovering

  • Tucson and Sabino Canyon for Many Years My Business Travel Took Me to Tucson, Arizona
    Tucson and Sabino Canyon For many years my business travel took me to Tucson, Arizona. One of my favorite places in Tucson was to visit when time permitted the Sabino Canyon Recreation Area. The canyon provides an opportunity to hike, picnic or just enjoy the desert scenery. Tucson and Sabino Canyon both have had an interesting historical background. Archaeologists tell us that 12,000 years ago American Indians lived in the Tucson area in the Santa Cruz River Valley. The Hohokam Indians lived there for over 1,000 years beginning in 450AD. They inhabited the Northern Mexico to Central Arizona area. Hohokams used irrigation methods to produce agricultural goods, however their disappearance may have been caused by a lack of food and a change in weather patterns that included both droughts and flooding. <southernarizonaguide.com> Spanish explorers such as Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca, Fray Marcos de Niza, and Francisco Vásquez de Coronado came to Arizona during the 16th century. Some were looking for gold as they traveled from Mexico City. The Zuni Indians were living in the region. <southernarizonaguide.com> During the 17th century, missionaries such as Jesuit Father Eusebio Francisco Kino interacted with the Pima Indians. The Pima Indians had a well‐developed irrigated settlement that they called T'Shuk‐sohn (how Tucson got its name). It meant "Place at the Base of Black Mountain" (later known as Sentinel Peak and now “A” Mountain) which was created by University of Arizona students in 1905 (founded 1885). <southernarizonaguide.com> <cals.arizona.edu> The 18th century was beset with Indian revolts.
