Description
Created by the Santa Fe Railroad, this 1893 booklet shows how adventurous hikers approached the canyon in the late 19th century. An animated description outlines the route. Stopping first at a train station, hikers boarded stagecoaches that traveled for many miles across the harsh desert. On reaching the edge of the canyon, many hours from civilization, Grand Canyon visitors stopped to camp for the night before rising early the next day to descend to the canyon floor. The text by Charles A. Higgins is accompanied by numerous illustrations by Thomas Moran, H.F. Farny and F.H. Lungren.
