Examines the development of the arid western US - in particular the development of Arizona - as seen through the experiences of three generations of John Ruddle Nortons of Arizona. From the administration of Teddy Roosevelt and the earliest reclamation acts to the monumental case between California and Arizona that would determine how the waters of the Colorado River would be divided, the Nortons were at the centre of Arizona's development.
