WHAT OTHER'S ARE SAYING ABOUT MARSHALL...
"Somewhere between Father Kino, Wyatt Earp, Cochise and the Pygimy owl, rides Marshall Trimble, the fifth horseman of Arizonianna!
He is to Arizona literature what Thomas Jefferson was to the
Declaration of Independence, what Buffalo Bill was to the fur coat and what ten

He scatters his wisdom from Ash Fork to Arivaca, from St. John to St. David,
from Yuma to Tuba City, like some New River Moses feeding the trivia-driven

the walls of taverns, to the hallowed halls of Carnegie where he sits on shelves
between Hunter S. Thompson and Mark Twain, waiting to deliver us from ignorance
and lead us into the light of understanding his beloved Arizona."
