This book reveals the forgotten story of their ambitious dreams and their ultimate failure to control this fugitive terrain.\u003cbr\u003eFocusing on a mining region that spilled across the Arizona–Sonora border, this book shows how entrepreneurs, corporations, and statesmen tried to domesticate nature and society within a transnational context.
