Book Reviews of Arizona: A Cavalcade of History, Second Edition
Book Review: good history is a well-told story...
Summary: 5 Stars
Pay no attention to the two individuals who gave this book negative reviews -- Marshall Trimble's "Arizona, a Cavalcade of History" is an excellent introduction to the colourful and interesting history of our 48th state. Trimble is a master storyteller and brings history down to level of the ordinary person, and after all, that's it belongs to. It's not a text book per se, but it's not really supposed to be -- and quite frankly, has there ever been a textbook that is truly "readable"?
"Good history is a well-told story" -- and Trimble excells a storyteller. I would use this book for my history classes, because I believe my students would enjoy it -- and history should be enjoyed.
