"Far From Cactus Flats"

I really enjoyed reading this book. Has anyone else read it? It is the story of one of the Bundy family from the Arizona Strip, and his service in WWII. During the telling of the tale, a real picture is obtained of life on the Strip, in the first half of the 20th Century. The author is Lyman Hafen, ...
