Big Bug Creek: Stories of Growing Arizona

by Michael Hawkins

Overview

"The determination and strength of these old and new Arizona characters makes for a great read. I shook my head in amazement at some of these larger than life people. At the end I felt like I knew them all."

Bob Boze Bell, Executive Editor, True West magazine

"This collection of Arizona stories by one of Arizona's best judges is a must-read for every Arizonan hoping to find great writing about this state's unique sense of humor, honesty, and truth. Occurring long before today's technology and politics, they are at once both troublesome and fascinating. He is a past master at letting us all see 'old' Arizona through the lens of his family history. These stories are rich anecdotes and little-known episodes that ring true in the lives and stories of many Arizonans."

-Gary Stuart, Noted Biographer and Novelist
