Foreword by Dr. Robert C. Euler. A selection of outstanding writings compiled by then Governor Bruce E.

The articles are written about a number of aspects of Grand Canyon. Contributions by Lieutenant Joseph C. Ives, John Wesley Powell, Edwin Corle, Mary Austin, Irvin Cobb, J. B. Priestley, Wallace Stegner, Haniel Long, Robert C. Euler, Theodore Roosevelt, Edward Abbey, Zane Grey, and others. Interestingly we can find no record of this binding with a slipcase.
