Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum: A Scrapbook

Online Appendices

Book Cover

When Peggy Larson set to writing a scrapbook for the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, multitudes of interesting stories poured from her pen. In the interest of space, portions of many of those stories and profiles had to be left out of the book.

In the process of editing A Scrapbook we realized that some readers would hunger for more information on a particular topic or a more detailed version of a touching story. Furthermore, we loathed to relegate so much of Peggy's wonderful writing to the ASDM archives.

Thankfully we have plenty of space on this website to let more of Peggy's writing see the light of day. We hope you enjoy these "extensions" to our Scrapbook.
