B-988
HIGHWAY 66 SAN FRANCISCO PEAKS
When one drives west on highway 66 from Holbrook,
Arizona, named for H. R. Holbrook, first engineer of
the Atlantic & Pacific R. R. (later the Santa Fe), the
snow covered San Francisco Peaks may be seen in the
distance. Joseph City was founded in 1876 as Allen's
Camp and is the oldest town in Navajo County. Winslow
was first settled in 1882 as a division point on the
Santa Fe. With the development of stock-raising Win-
slow became one of the largest towns in northern
Arizona. There are trading posts along the highway that
deal in Indian crafts. This is a land of Indian ruins,
Petrified Forests, Craters, and an area rich in western
history. Weeks could be spent here to explore and
sight-see. . . . M.P.
