I don't know what is missing, but one thing in this piece is made of whole cloth. Respiratory therapy was not in Tucson when it is mentioned, and I don't care how good of a history you quoted. Those WW I vets had TB and came to Tucson, needing respiratory therapy. They needed it alright; just didn't have it. Respiratory therapy didn't exist until it was invented gradually, beginning about 1955 in Chicago. Grew and spread slowly. The first such "therapists" were called oxygen jockeys because they brought the big tanks down the halls. Later they got called inhalation therapists and probably helped nurses put oxygen masks on patients. As we can see, RT didn't save too many vets between the wars in Tucson or anywhere else. Just when oxygen therapy given by nurses or aides became available in Tucson is a matter for separate research. Even then it might have been used one place and not another. The clean dry warm air, free of the terror of northern winters, was available to all. That was the form of respiratory therapy Tucson offered before something like 1965 or 1970. --Alan Rasmussen, Tucson respiratory therapist — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.187.251.62 (talk) 21:48, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

Looks like the Timeline is missing relevant information about Native Americans before the Spanish arrived! Goldrider (talk) 12:14, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

Rewrote lead section
I rewrote the lead section so that it was less European-centric, which is an issue I'm finding with all of the history pages for Tucson. It's important that we provide information on the Native Americans who founded and developed Tucson because if we start it with Spanish or Mexican history, it looks like the Native Americans were never here. I also added that the Spanish committed cultural genocide against the Native Americans, which is a strong statement, but I believe it is true. How might I better support this claim? More scholarly sources supporting this assessment? Goldrider (talk) 12:12, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
