Reenactment of the 1928 Robbery of the Bank of Arizona in downtown Clarkdale, AZ.
The Clarkdale Historical Society and Museum hosted the 3rd Annual Clarkdale Historic Home and Building Tour on December 10, 2011. As part of the event, the actors of the Blue Rose Theater reenacted a piece of Clarkdale's history: the 1928 robbery of the Bank of Arizona located at 907 Main Street in Clarkdale.
Shortly before 11 a.m. on June 21, 1928, two armed men - Willard Forrester and Earl Nelson - entered the Bank of Arizona in downtown Clarkdale and robbed it.
It is also fact that within two or three minutes after fleeing, bank robber Willard Forrester, while driving the getaway car, was shot and killed.
Known to be in the bank, along with possibly a couple of customers, were bank manager David Saunders, cashier Bob Southard and teller Marian Marston.
Outside the bank was Clarkdale lawman, 70-year-old James F. Roberts.

Jerome Ehrhardt :: Aboriginal Trails in West-Central Arizona
The study of aboriginal Indian pedestrian trails in the Verde Valley was initiated after many hours of archaeological surveys by the Verde Valley Chapter of the Arizona Archaeological Society in the Sycamore Canyon and Hackberry Basin area south and east of Camp Verde, Arizona. As we researched the mid-nineteenth century US military accounts and maps of expeditions into Indian strongholds in the Verde River area, a picture emerged of a large system of historic aboriginal trails. Earlier prehistoric pueblos and habitation sites are also found along these same historical aboriginal trails documented in the military records. The trails principally emanated out from the Hopi Mesas in a dendritic pattern to the San Francisco Peaks, the Verde Valley and the Tonto Basin. In the Verde Valley the major trails branched off to connect contemporaneous settlements to the west, north, and south.
On October 9, 2010 a symposium organized by David R. Wilcox (Museum of Northern Arizona) and Peter J. Pilles, Jr. (Coconino National Forest), was presented at the Museum of Northern Arizona on Contributions of Avocational Archaeology to Historic Preservation in Arizona. Introduced by Wilcox, eight papers were presented on the results of archaeological surveys conducted in the Middle Verde Valley and northern Arizona, a paper on rock art in the Middle Verde Valley, and one on Paleoindian and Archaic projectile point classification on the Coconino National Forest. John and Lisa Ward of Trailhead Video filmed the proceedings and later integrated the powerpoint presentations to produce the Youtube videos of this event.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Arizona ( (listen); Navajo: Hoozdo Hahoodzo Navajo pronunciation: [xòːztò xɑ̀xòːtsò]; O'odham: Alĭ ṣonak Uto-Aztecan pronunciation: [ˡaɺi ˡʂonak]) is a U.S. state in the southwestern region of the United States. It is also part of the Western and the Mountain states. It is the sixth largest and the 14th most populous of the 50 states. Its capital and largest city is Phoenix. Arizona, one of the Four Corners states, is bordered by New Mexico to the east, Utah to the north, Nevada and California to the west, and Mexico to the south, as well as the southwestern corner of Colorado. Arizona's border with Mexico is 389 miles (626 km) long, on the northern border of the Mexican states of Sonora and Baja California.
Arizona is the 48th state and last of the contiguous states to be admitted to the Union, achieving statehood on February 14, 1912, coinciding with Valentine's Day. Historically part of the territory of Alta California in New Spain, it became part of independent Mexico in 1821. After being defeated in the Mexican–American War, Mexico ceded much of this territory to the United States in 1848. The southernmost portion of the state was acquired in 1853 through the Gadsden Purchase.
Southern Arizona is known for its desert climate, with very hot summers and mild winters. Northern Arizona features forests of pine, Douglas fir, and spruce trees; the Colorado Plateau; some mountain ranges (such as the San Francisco Mountains); as well as large, deep canyons, with much more moderate summer temperatures and significant winter snowfalls. There are ski resorts in the areas of Flagstaff, Alpine, and Tucson. In addition to the Grand Canyon National Park, there are several national forests, national parks, and national monuments.
About one-quarter of the state is made up of Indian reservations that serve as the home of 27 federally recognized Native American tribes, including the Navajo Nation, the largest in the state and the United States, with more than 300,000 citizens. Although federal law gave all Native Americans the right to vote in 1924, Arizona excluded those living on reservations in the state from voting until the state Supreme Court ruled in favor of Native American plaintiffs in Trujillo v. Garley (1948).
