Hell In Arizona

The Devil in Hell we've told was claimed And a thousand years be there remainded, He neither complained and did he gowwn, But determined to start a hell of his own. Where he could toemeng the souls of men Without being chained in a prison pen. So he asked the Lord if he had on hand Anything left when be made this land. The Lord said "Yes: I have plenty on hand, But I left it down on the Rio Grande; The fact is "old boy" the stuff is so poor I don't think you can use it in hell any more." But the Devil went down to look at the truck And said if he took it as a gift he was stuck, For after examining in carefully and well. He concluded the place was too dry to a hell. So in order to fet it off his hand The Lord promised the Devil to water the land, of He had some water or rather some drags. A regular cathartic and smelled like bad eggs. Hence the trade wasclosed and the ded was given, And the lord went back on his home in heaven; The Devil and to himself "I have all that is needed, To make a good hell" and hence he succeeded. He began to put them all over the trees, And mixed up the sands with millions of fiens. he trered thrannulas alongthe roads; Put thorns on cactus and horns on roads. He lengthened the horns of the steers. And put an addition to the rabitt's ears; He put a little devil in the broncho steed And proceded the tree of the certipede. The rattlemake biter for the scorpion stiogs, The mosgoils delights you with his buzzing wings The sand-burs prevail and to do the ants And those who pit down need half soles on their pants. The Devil then said that rhrouglerc the land He'd arrange to keep up the Devils own brand, And all should be Mavericka unless they bore, Marks or scraiches of bites and thorns by the score. The heat in the summer is one hundred and ten, Too hot for the Devil and too hot for men; The wild boar roams through the black chaparcal; It's a hell of a palce that he has for a hell.

Legend has it that a mysterious little old man, Snowbeard, the Dutchman, came trudging down from the mountain heavily laden with gold nuggets and died before divulging the whereabouts of his fabulous find. Each year in early Spring the Dons' Club of Phoenix, as host to hundreds of winter visitors, conducts a trek into the Superstitions and enact the stories of the region.

You can't see Arizona from a motor car. Real Arizona doesn't lie along traveled roads. There is only one place from which to see this most picturesque of all states, and that is from the back of a horse. But if you can't ride a horse, the next best place to see it is from the plazza of a ranche. The Old West endures. It still exists. It is preserved in our ranches, and in every section of the state-the hospitality of the range is open to you. If you want to enjoy Arizona, Dude, go and be wrangled."" - CLARENCE BUDINGTON KELLAND

Title:
The Painted Desert
Scenic Arizona (AZ), Linen PM 1941
Description:
An uninhabitable desert of multi-colored sands, rock and petrified wood interspersed with fantastic erosions - rolling hills of soft toned colors of yellow and green, whose crests are often tipped with black, giving the appearance of having been charred. Looking down upon it from the rim, year imagination might suggest a huge melting pot used by some mighty worker of metals - leaving the remnants ever to glitter in the sun

Superstition Mountain, Highways 60, 70, 80, 89
Scenic Arizona (AZ), Linen unused
Description:
Once Seen, Always Remebered Majestic Guardian of the Apache Trail. Superstition Mountain was so named because of the great fear with which it was regarded by the Pima and Maricopa Indians who told gruesome tales of attacks by Apaches who lurked on the heights and swooped down from stronghold visiting death and torture upon the peace-loving desert tribes. Legend has it that a mysterious little old man, Snowbeard, the Dutchman, came trudging down from the mountain heavily laden with gold nuggets and died before divulging the whereabouts of his fabulous find. Each year in early Spring the Dons' Club of Phoenix, as host to hundreds of winter visitors, conducts a trek into the Superstitions and enacts the stories of the region

Scenic Arizona (AZ), Linen unused

In the distance and in the left foreground is the unreclaimed desert. But this canal with its thousands of branching ditches or ""laterals"" supplies life-giving water to enterprising ranchers, fast creating the miracle of broad hayfields, lush alfalfa pastures, miles of lettuce, carrot, corn and cotton fields, heavily laden citrus and date groves, and flowers all the year 'round - in an area where rainfall is less than 11 inches annually!

The Mittens in Monument Valley
Scenic Arizona (AZ), Linen unused
Description:
Monument Valley is truly the Land of Enchantment and one of the-oh so few!-spots in our United States still unspoiled by advancing civilization. This panorama of colossal buttes and pinnacles of red sandstone rising some 1,100 feet above the shifting desert sands and capped by fleecy white clouds is well worth the time required to reach it. Stretching for miles along the Arizona - Utah border it is best reached by road from Cameron, Arizona - 120 miles northeast into the heart of Navajo land!
