Abstract: The Historic Resource Study is the primary history study for the park. It
provides a well documented narrative history of Casa Grande Ruins from the time of
contact, through the Spanish and Mexican periods, and the American period from
acquisition as part of the Gadsden Purchase to the modern era. The report provides
managers, resource specialists and interpreters with primary historical data about the
park. The Historic Resource Study is described in NPS-28.
