Description
Photograph of the ruin of a cliff dwelling overlooking Montezuma's Well in Verde Valley, Arizona, ca.1900. The water in the well reflects a blurred image of the cliff. A horse-drawn carriage parked near the edge of the cliff top is partially obscured by a tree. "Montezuma Well, near Camp Verde, Arizona, is fed by underground sources which are said to be over 800 feet below the surface. Its tremendous overflow of nearly two million gallons of water every twenty-four hours has cut through the wall, under the trees at the right, to form small caves in which prehistoric dwellers have left relics of their craft." -- Lloyd Cooper, Los Angeles Times, 9 September 1934.
