Ash Fork

More about the book

Set against the backdrop of Ash Fork, a small community that rose to prominence as a vital rail junction, the narrative explores its historical significance from the late 19th century through the mid-20th century. The town thrived with the advent of Route 66 and U.S. Highway 89, linking Northern and Southern Arizona. However, the opening of Interstate 40 diverted traffic, leading to a decline in population. Despite challenges, the resilient residents foster a renewed community spirit and optimism for the future as they adapt to changing times.
