ISBN: 9780816522903 / Angielski / Miękka / 86 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For many, these mountains represent the Apache stronghold of Geronimo.

Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument lies in southwestern Arizona on the Mexican border. It is an isolated park that for Carol Ann Bassett has long been a place of solitude a silent refuge where she often camped out...
