Synopsis

Follow the adventures of a woman who finds a good place to live… at an abandoned air force station! The military houses were well built and spacious but the streets were falling apart. As the first official homeowner, see how her determination to confront the community problems propelled her through the challenges to create a new city, to be appointed the first mayor and become embroiled in a politic controversy with federal and state officials for control over their source of water. In an inclusive effort to shine light on all the facets of cutting a gemstone town, the book includes tributes to those who deserve them, visits to watershed and fire districts, eateries, businesses, schools, and clubs. Learn how the surrounding area was shaped by larger social, political, and economic forces, from the World War II Camp Adair training center to the unique locality now known as the City of Adair Village.
