Those early days-- oldtimers' memoirs

the long version

A collection of "memories put to paper" gathered from some of the early pioneers, and a few not-quite-so-early residents, of the Sedona area of Northern Arizona, including Oak Creek Canyon in Coconino County and the Red Rock area of Yavapai County. (The Coconino - Yavapai County line divides the community of Sedona into two uniquely different parts.) Many, if not most, of the early settlers of the area are represented in stories about what it was like to live and work and play in Red Rock country, some would say "God's country," back before it became the immensely popular area it is today.
