Land of Our Own: New River, Arizona Pauline Essary Grimes

This is the fascinating story of a family's homestead days in New River and about the general development of the community. Hardships and heartaches mingled with simple pleasures in this once isolated country to fulfill the dream of land of their own. Pauline Essary Grimes wrote this book, which she published in November 1987 and dedicated to her parents Rowena and Bill Essary in honor of their 60th wedding anniversary. This re-print of the original edition makes the lively general community history of New River available to every interested reader.
