Land Beneath The Tumurru

The Arizona Strip country is vibrant and full of color. The year is 1910, and Mimi was just five years old when her father packed up their belongings and moved to Maxwell Canyon where he hoped to become a farmer with a small herd of cattle.

Though it was dusty and she was tired from the long trip, Mimi peered out of the buckboard to see majestic vermillion cliffs rising two thousand feet off the canyon floor. She couldn't know that three of her brothers would build small stone houses in this wild and beautiful land, or that she would help her older brothers in bringing precious water from the top of those immense cliffs to the valley below in wooden flues or that it would take many years to make this a reality.

Right now Mimi knew she was tired and hungry and she longed for the wagon to stop its endless journey so she and her family could have homemade bread and fresh peaches for lunch.
