Cemeteries of the Verde Valley - (Images of America) by Parker Anderson (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Over one hundred photographs capture the lives of those who once claimed Arizona's Verde Valley as home.

Verde Valley is regarded as one of Arizona's most beautiful and scenic areas, with its red rock vistas and cultural heritage. From Sedona to Jerome to Camp Verde and other towns in between, Verde Valley attracts scores of visitors and new residents every year. The area's history and culture are also reflected in its simple but deeply reverent burial grounds, where many of the Verde Valley's early pioneers are buried. Verde Valley burials include ranchers, farmers, civic leaders, and many others, such as Sedona Schnebly, for whom the town is named, and Arizona governor Raul Castro. Additionally, some isolated burials are noted.
