Title	Arizona Daily Sun articles concerning zoning and development of land on Hart Prairie [constructed title], 1974.
Date	1974
Type	Text
Description	Article in the Arizona Daily Sun written by Nanci Parsons that describes the Coconino County Board of Supervisors decision to issue a one year moratorium for rezoning of land on Hart Prairie. The Supervisors hoped that the moratorium would provide time for the United States Forest Service to purchase the land or for the land to be made a national park. Also includes letter by John Duncklee to the editor of the Daily Sun; Duncklee disputes a previously published letter written by Dick Hulce. Duncklee points out that development on Hart Prairie would disrupt wildlife, be subject to wildfires, and would be disrespectful to the religious beliefs of the Navajo and Hopi. BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE: John Duncklee was born in 1929. When he was twelve years old, he was sent to school outside Tucson, where he fell in love with the idea of becoming a cowboy and learning Spanish. After spending four years in the Navy during the Korean War, he returned to southern Arizona and entered the cattle ranching business. After suffering through a prolonged drought in the 1950's, he sold his first ranch and started to raise Mexican steers and quarter horses at a ranch near Nogales, Arizona. He earned a Master's degree in Geography from the University of Arizona and taught there for a year and a half; he then went on to earn a Ph.D. in Geography from UCLA, and accepted a faculty postion at NAU. While in Flagstaff he got involved in the fight to save the San Francisco Peaks from land developers, and developed an appreciation for Native American beliefs. This eventually helped to provide the inspiration for him to write his first novel. John left NAU in 1973 and returned to Tucson to write full time. During this period he spent a year teaching at the Universidad de Sonora in Hermosillo, and afterwards became a designer of mesquite wood furniture. He now writes full time, dividing his time between Alpine and Oracle, Arizona. He lives with his wife Penny, who also illustrates many of his books.
