In January 2007, hundreds of historians, witnesses to history, National Park Service and U.S. Forest Service employees, hikers, river runners, and history buffs gathered on the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park for the second Grand Canyon History Symposium. The symposium came alive with thirty-six presentations on topics from new evidence about the Powell expedition to rarely published reflections on Hopi cultural connections to the Grand Canyon to a robust debate on whether James White did or did not raft through the canyon in 1867. Reflections of Grand Canyon Historians collects thirtytwo papers based on the presentations at the symposium, offering an offbeat anthology of Grand Canyon history. Readers will find this a thought-provoking and entertaining book, a unique collection of historical events tied to the Crown Jewel of the National Park System. Accessible to lay readers, Reflections of Grand Canyon Historians will challenge your thinking while filling your mind with cowboys, hermits, towering figures in conservation history, near-naked river runners, honored veterans, visionary naturalists, and shutter-happy mule wranglers. The book will fascinate anyone interested in the history of the Southwest and of America's national parks.

The Grand Canyon is one of America’s loveliest landmarks. That’s a pretty noncontroversial statement, right? Wrong — at least if you lived 100 years ago. Teddy Roosevelt, the Wild West-loving wanted the Grand Canyon to be a national park — an untarnished natural beauty that every American could have the chance to admire. Yet a lot of people just didn’t think the Grand Canyon was that charming. The isolation and barrenness appalled some early visitors. What was pretty about the jagged cliffs and bare rock with their garish colors and terrifying abysses? It wasn’t just aesthetics that made the Grand Canyon’s path to becoming a national park rocky. Minors wanted to keep searching for potential fortunes in the nooks and crannies of the canyon. A handful of independent-minded settlers, who had made makeshift houses near the rim to enjoy the peace and solitude, weren’t excited about the prospect of tourists. Railroads had already built their own hotels and didn’t want the National Park Service to benefit from an influx of visitors. But somehow these hurdles were overcome, because the Grand Canyon became a national park on February 26, 1919.

2020 Winner of the Southwest Book Awards 2020 Spur Awards Finalist Contemporary Nonfiction, Western Writers of America The Grand Canyon has been saved from dams three times in the last century. Unthinkable as it may seem today, many people promoted damming the Colorado River in the canyon during the early twentieth century as the most feasible solution to the water and power needs of the Pacific Southwest. These efforts reached their climax during the 1960s when the federal government tried to build two massive hydroelectric dams in the Grand Canyon. Although not located within the Grand Canyon National Park or Monument, they would have flooded lengthy, unprotected reaches of the canyon and along thirteen miles of the park boundary. Saving Grand Canyon tells the remarkable true story of the attempts to build dams in one of America’s most spectacular natural wonders. Based on twenty-five years of research, this fascinating ride through history chronicles a hundred years of Colorado River water development, demonstrates how the National Environmental Policy Act came to be, and challenges the myth that the Sierra Club saved the Grand Canyon. It also shows how the Sierra Club parlayed public perception as the canyon’s savior into the leadership of the modern environmental movement after the National Environmental Policy Act became law. The tale of the Sierra Club stopping the dams has become so entrenched—and so embellished—that many historians, popular writers, and filmmakers have ignored the documented historical record. This epic story puts the events from 1963–1968 into the broader context of Colorado River water development and debunks fifty years of Colorado River and Grand Canyon myths.

Unlike appreciating America's other natural wonders such as waterfalls, glaciers, mountains, or prairies, one must struggle to absorb, assimilate, and comprehend the Grand Canyon's tremendous scale. Captured here in over 250 vintage images is the human drama of survival and coexistence in the canyon, from the native tribes who struggled with life on the rim, to the pioneers who came to foster and manipulate the early tourist industry in America's oldest natural resource. Covering the tribes that called the canyon home and the seekers who flocked to the area to find their fortune in gold and tourism, author Kenneth Shields exposes the human layers so often overlooked. Seen here are the native tribes who survived the harshest conditions of the canyon, including the Hopi, Havasupai, Navajo, and Paiute. Readers will recognize the images of popular tourist spots like the El Tovar Hotel and the Navajo Bridge, as well as the early conservationist faces of Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and William Taft.

It’s hard to imagine a time in which the Grand Canyon was not regarded as one of the most exquisite and awe-inspiring natural wonders of the United States. But it has only recently become the revered national landmark that we know it to be today. For much of U.S. history, it was over-looked at best, exploited at worst. In The Story of the Grand Canyon’s Establishment 100 Years Later, you’ll discover the adventurous and tumultuous road that eventually led to the Grand Canyon’s success as a national landmark, tourist attraction, and home to all sorts of flora and fauna. From its ties to Native American culture and Teddy Roosevelt’s campaign for preservation to the encroaching railroad tyrants and daring explorations into its mysterious, mystical ravines, the Grand Canyon’s history is filled with as many twists and turns as the gorges’ themselves. After exploring the canyon’s history, study the present preservation and environmental efforts that will hopefully ensure the canyon’s glory for years to come. The future is yet unknown, but the Grand Canyon has stood long before our time and will stand long after we are gone, steadfast and magnificent.
