"The Hassayampa Legend:
There's a legend centuries old, by the early Spaniards, that tells of a sparkling stream that lies under Arizona skies. Hassayampa is its name, and the title to its fame is a wondrous quality known today from sea to sea. Those who drink its water bright, Red man, White man, Boor or Knight, Girls or women, boys or men, Never tell the truth again." by Andrew Downing.
