Arizona - The Basque Connection

Hi Arizona! Someone suggested I repost this to the Arizona group, so here you go. Hope you like it.

(FYI, I live in Colorado, but my daughter's fiancé lives in Winslow and goes to NAU, so we've been driving down every few months. Love Arizona!

I thought I knew a lot of AZ history, but hadn't ever read about this.

Of course, he did his research before William (Mr. Basque) Douglass looked into it in 1979.

If you're interested, I found a copy of the book here:

I am pretty sure I know where my copy is, but I think it is behind some other stored furniture.

Of course, I can't find ANYTHING in my house these days. Also, these days it's easier to just sit on my butt and look it up online. That's just how lazy I am.
