About Arizona -
Arizona Weather:
Find out more about Arizona before you travel there.
Arizona gets its name from the Native American word
Arizona,
believed to mean place of the small spring.
States neighbouring Arizona are: California,
Nevada, Utah, Colorado
and New Mexico. Arizona also borders with Mexico.
Arizona's famous son is Geronimo (1829-1909), the Chiricahua Apache
chief who resisted the idea of life on a reservation in New
Mexico, Florida, or Alabama.
For ten years he would terrorise the white settlers with his
intermittent raids.
Ironically, the early colonists pushed the Native Americans westwards,
and now they were being forced east again.
Geronimo eventually gave up the ten-year struggle in 1886, and was
settled in Oklahoma.
He took part in the inaugural procession of President Theodore
Roosevelt in 1905, and had his life story published the following year.
