Overview

Excerpt from Yuma and Yuma Valley: A True Pictorial Story of the Most Promising City and the Most Richly Endowed Section of the Great Southwest T first thought it seems a long stretch of imagination from the Chaldea, the Media and the Canaan of the ancients to the United States of today. From the periodically afflicted peoples of Assyria, Mesopotamia and the Holy Land, who were wont to journey down into Pharaoh's Egypt in years of drouth to buy the corn which their. Rebellious soil and untoward climate denied them, it would appear a far cry to the present-day inhabitants of the most prosperous, the farthest advanced and the greatest nation of the world. And yet the simil'e _is not misplaced, nor the comparisons we would draw far - fetched. F or the average locality of our Union, prosperous though the country as a whole may be, knows its seasons of drouth, its rigors of winter, its impoverished or unfertile soil, its periods of struggle for the necessaries of life.
