About The Author
Catherine H. Ellis
Catherine Ellis and D. L. Turner consider it a privilege to help preserve this area’s history. Turner developed an early appreciation for the White Mountains during childhood vacations. Ellis’s father photographed aspen and wildlife each fall, leaving a legacy of spectacular scenes and an abiding love of the mountains. Likewise, the photographs in this book come mostly from those who love the valleys and mountains of eastern Arizona.
