ABOUT THIS BOOK ... This is the complete text of a book by George Wharton James written in ... are you ready for this ... 1912. Yes, this book about How to See the Grand Canyon has been around awhile, but it's still a remarkably complete resource.

The natural wonder of the Grand Canyon is certainly its primary attraction. But the lure of the Canyon is enhanced by the fascinating history of how early travelers have interacted with the Grand Canyon of Arizona. What better way to really experience that history than to live it through the words of someone who was there.

Here's what you will find in this book:
