In Harold Bell Wright's The Mine with the Iron Door (1923), the rugged beauty of the Santa Catalina Mountains north of Tucson becomes the stage for a captivating tale.

The narrative follows the intrepid exploits of two seasoned miners, who, while eking out a life from the mountain's depths, raise their adopted daughter, Marta Hillgrove, into a resilient young woman.

But this story is more than just an adventure—it's a vivid time capsule offering rare glimpses of Tucson and its surrounding landscapes as they were in the early 20th century.
