Description |
Horse-drawn vehicle on dirt road by stone formation. There are a cactus and a yucca plant in the foreground. Printed text on verso reads, "Desert scene, Arizona - The surface of Arizona is a series of plateaus, ranging in altitude from 80 to 7500 feet above sea level. Dotting the plains are enormous mesas or table lands. No part of the world has so rich a field for archaeological and ethnological investigations as Arizona. It is a region of wonders and mysteries. Long buried dwellings and cities with other ruins of an exceedingly ancient people are being continually disclosed. One of the grandest sights of the world - the Grand Canyon of the Colorado - is located in this territory." Postage rates date this postcard to before 1952. This card is number 93 in a series. |
