- Part of the Carl Dudley produced "Screen Book of Knowledge" THIS LAND OF OURS ARIZONA will take viewers on a tour through Arizona in the late 1940s or early 1950s.. At this time it was the youngest state and rests in the south western sector of the country bordering the Republic of Mexico (:28). The fifth largest state consists of high mountains, plateaus and semi arid deserts (:58). Arizona has a dry climate (1:02). Before the United States had been discovered, Arizona was largely inhabited by Native Americans (1:17) and today their are more full blooded Navajos than in any other state (1:22). The capital of the state is Phoenix; once merely a stagecoach stop, yet now is one of the largest inland cities (1:54). Tucson is the largest city and one of it's most important commercial centers (2:03). This city is also home of the University of Arizona (2:08) and a few miles south is the United States and Mexico border (2:26) at Nogales. One of the state’s most attractive cities is Tombstone, although it is mostly a ghost town today (2:43). Arizona is ranked first among copper producing states; yielding almost two thirds of the country's supply (3:22). Near the mine at Bisbee is a giant smelter at Douglas which reduces ore into crude copper (3:36). The largest pine forests in the world exist in Arizona (3:57). The most valuable resource is water (4:15) and engineers have constructed some of the most impressive dams in the world here (4:23). The Coolidge dam is considered of the highest masonry type (4:26), and Roosevelt is of the highest wedge type (4:32). Considered the greatest engineering achievements of all time is the Boulder Dam (4:34). These dam’s supply water for irrigation for the state's year round fruit and vegetable crops (4:52). Arizona produces considerable amounts of sugar beets (5:10), winter head lettuce (5:16), cotton and dates (5:21). Due to large grazing lands, it has become one of the country's best contributors of livestock (5:33). Thousands of acres from prehistoric times have been petrified. These range up to 250 feet in length (5:53). Another site worth seeing is Monument Valley with several hundred mile high red sandstone (6:07). Tourists and inhabitants alike enjoy the states dude ranches (6:32). The most well known and beautiful of natural wonders is the Grand Canyon (6:52). Over a time span of more than a million years, the Colorado River had eroded a gorge over a mile deep and two hundred miles long (7:01). The narrator takes us through a brief summary of the state as the film draws to a close (7:28).

I love Arizona! And Tucson my new home! I’ve been all over the state, and still can get enough! I explore Tucson every day. My favorite places to go in Tucson, is Mt. Lemmon and Tombstone! Also off roading in the backroads when I get a chance.👌😎👍👉♥️
My dad was born in the Arizona Territory in 1898. His dad was a gunsmith and Indian Agent for the Maricopa Tribe.
A place I'd like to go to and maybe live there.
Phil Brown you don’t want to visit or live there trust me... I was born and raised there and it sucks. One of the worst states in the USA
Phil, don't listen to Chuck Schick, he hasn't been around or rather not well traveled. Their are many other states that are fare worse, like NJ where I started out in life. I came to AZ through the military and have been living here since 1983. AZ will accommodate most people and it really depends where you settle and what kind of climate you want. If you like the heat and it gets quite hot in summer, anywhere from Phoenix and to the south would fit. The big joke in southern AZ is that we only have 2 seasons here, Christmas and summer. But be advised, the heat can be brutal, anywhere from 110 to 123 degrees from about June through October usually. It has gotten to 100 as early as Mar in Phoenix.
If you like trees and seasonal weather, the mountain towns and northern AZ has that, southern AZ has places like that too like in the south eastern part. The state is just that big. One other nice thing about AZ, we don't do the stupid daylight savings time except on a reservation up in the northeast. That is just one of the things a love about AZ. The other thing I love about AZ, I live in the southern desert part, is that there is very little rain. It is literally 90% sunny averaging 286 days of sunshine.
The best thing for you to do is to google a map of AZ that list the towns and then check out the towns you might like to visit. Today most towns and cities have videos on TH-cam that will talk and show you about that place. Like in this video AZ has anything from very rural areas that are not towns out in the counties to small towns to large cities and I've seen many places grow here. To me Phoenix is far better than Tucson. There is more to do there and they have lakes and rivers. Phoenix also has better roads, but also heaver traffic. A lot of the towns were mining towns, the mines have closed but the town was able to survive and a lot of the smaller towns have a caricature unique to them.
Hunting, and gun laws are the best in the country and something one has to get use to if you come from a restricted state.
AZ is a great place to live and raise a family. Check it out.
EIBBOR2654 I’ve lived in AZ since the mid 70’s and have been to every corner and small town in the state...the only place I’ll stay is Greer, AZ. This place is heaven even now that people are over populating the White Mountain area...I know what the hell I’m talking about when it comes to Arizona. 40+ years of experience
EIBBOR2654 Arizona is a political mess...we’re talking about more than the wonderful desert and mountain regions. There’s no denying that Arizona is badass if you love to camp/Hunt/fish/hike etc
I'm not saying that AZ doesn't have some political problems, especially in Pima County. But have you ever lived in another state? Like NJ or CA or NY? I have and talk about a political mess.
AZ is by far better than any of the states I mentioned and far better than a whole lot more. McCain is on his way out, here in AZ now and there's a good probably that he will not return to DC, so that is one problem child on on the way out. Flake the flake is gone at the end of his term, basically he couldn't win his primary against Kelly Ward. Another political problem gone. I wish we could get rid of that drunk Grijalva and do away with his group that wants to become a dynasty with their open border policies.
Unless you have specifics on political problems, I'm not sure what problems you are seeing. Taxes here in AZ are better that many states, though there are some states better then AZ. Before you start thinking that the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, so to speak, check out how bad it is in other places first.
Once again Christopher Columbus did not discover America native Americans were already there
Amen 🙏 to that
