Farquhar: "The geologic features are overlaid on an excellent topographic map by Richard T. Evans." In his preface, Ransome says: "Dr. Noble has very properly remembered that the people as a whole have unusual claims to consideration in any publication dealing with the Grand Canyon, and has skillfully supplied as a setting to his more strictly scientific work much vivid description and lucid explanation which will help all those who take more than a transient and superficial interest in what they see to understand one of the most impressive and significant of the inanimate works of nature." A highly important document, published when Bass Camp was "the only permanent habitation in the quadrangle." The photos and large full-color map are worth the admission price on this item.
