James, who knew the canyon intimately, wrote this guide for visitors arriving on the Grand Canyon Railway in the early twentieth century. He describes El Tovar hotel, the new Hermit Rim Road and trail, the views at each point, the descent to the Colorado River, and the customs of the Native peoples who live around the canyon.
A vivid snapshot of early Grand Canyon tourism, for anyone who has stood on the rim or hopes to. Download the free EPUB.
