The Grand Canyon is one of the most inspiring and accessible natural wonders inthe world. More than a century ago, visionaries developed it as a tourist destination, and today, it sees more than five million visitors per year to experience its geology, cultural history, and wildlife. Relying on historic images primarily from the GrandCanyon Museum Collections, historian Kevin S. Schindler traces the development of the Grand Canyon as a bucket-list destination for people of all ages.Comparing our present to our past is how we understand our history. Arcadia’sPast & Present series makes such local comparisons available. Books in this seriesoffer a special view of American life by placing historical images side by side withcontemporary photographs.
