Yavapi County/Prescott, AZ Time-Line.


It was back in the mid-16th Century that European explorers first set foot in what is now north-central Arizona. You can read the fabled, fascinating history of this area -- Prescott, AZ and Yavapai County --  inscribed by hand in a sidewalk-art tour de force on the central square in Prescott.

War, birth, death, the Great Depression, college and hospital start-ups, busines failures, famous people -- it's all there, etched in cement, colorfully illustrated in some caes, impressive as it is interesting.

The time-line stops in the year 2000 for some reason -- maybe the city/county fathers (and mothers) ran through their budget?  Vital events have surely transpired in the past 12 years  -- and they ought to be worthy of commemorating for posterity.
