Author Proves Arizona Has Rich History In New Book

A lot of people, whether they’ve lived here for a long time or are newcomers, don’t think Phoenix has a lot of history.

It’s such a young city, and you can’t compare it to the communities on the East Coast. Jon Talton, former Arizona Republic writer, decided to prove that Phoenix has a deep foundation and many tales to tell. He spoke about his new book, "A Brief History of Phoenix."

Steve Goldstein was a host at KJZZ from 1997 to 2022.
