The Grand Canyon was destined to become an American treasure.
Unparalleled in its enormity, visitors come from all over the world
to experience this great place. From prospectors and homesteaders
to the railroads and their luxurious flagship lodges, vintage
postcards and beautiful, present-day photographs are used to follow
the development of tourism at the Grand Canyon and its influence as
a National Park. Early promoters, including the Santa Fe and Union
Pacific railroads, did much to influence the park as we know it
today. Scenes include dramatic rim views, rugged trail-side
settings, wildlife, the El Tovar Hotel and other historic
properties made famous by the Fred Harvey Company, and the
stone-sculpted visitor facilities crafted by Mary Colter. This book
offers a timeless account of the park's scenic and historic
significance while providing a treasured keepsake for those who
love the national parks.
