The native people, known today as the Sinagua, inhabited the Verde Valley of Arizona for centuries. From around 700 AD to early 1400 AD, they farmed the land and built large pueblo communities throughout the area. They accomplished this task using only primitive stone tools, materials from their environment, and the strength of their intellect and muscle. One of the largest communal dwellings, and later the most extensively excavated, is called Tuzigoot. This sprawling, hilltop complex contained over 100 rooms and was once home to several hundred people before it was mysteriously abandoned. Excavated and partially restored between 1933 and 1934, Tuzigoot is currently administered by the National Park Service after being designated a national monument by Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1939. Today, although off the beaten track, it hosts more than 100,000 visitors a year.

"You better go and see what they're doing up there," is what John Tavasci's father said to him one day in 1933 when the Tavascis spotted twostrangers digging on the hill. The hill was on property the Tavascis leased from the local mining company. It turned out the two strangers werestudents from the University of Arizona and they were to excavate what we now know as Tuzigoot National Monument. Young John Tavasci, eightyears old at the time, talked with the students, watched them dig over the next two years, and witnessed the unearthing of everything from smallpotsherds to large intact ollas. The students went on to excavate other sites, but John Tavasci grew up, stayed in Clarkdale, and ran a dairy operation on nearby land leasedfrom the mining company alongside the Verde River for the next seven decades.2 In 1991 the mining company terminated the lease and theTavascis were forced to leave the land. One consolation to the family was that the marsh was formally named Tavasci Marsh. In March 2006, whatwe now know as the Tavasci Marsh became a part of the Tuzigoot National Monument.The story of the Tavascis and the marsh are intricately linked with the history of Tuzigoot. The connection begins with the young JohnTavasci witnessing the unearthing of Tuzigoot, and extends to how the land and monument developed. This is the story of the excavation,stewardship, and interpretation of an archaeological site; the consequences of its proximity to a large-scale mining operation on its establishment as a national monument and its long-term environmental management issues; and the change over time in values that effected, and continue to effect, the use, flow, and relationship with the Verde River as it runs through Clarkdale, Arizona.

The mysterious cliff dwelling known as Montezuma Castle has overlooked Arizona's Verde Valley for over 900 years. Originally thought to have been built by the ancient Aztecs, later research proved it to be the handiwork of a long-vanished people named the Sinagua. They inhabited the site for over three centuries and then simply walked away to be lost in the mists of time. In this volume, the author traces the history of Montezuma Castle through its construction, abandonment, later discovery, and the diligent efforts of many individuals and organizations to restore and preserve it for future generations. In 1906, Montezuma Castle was designated one of the country's first national monuments by Pres. Theodore Roosevelt. Arizona was still a territory at that time, six years away from becoming the 48th state in the Union.
