Canyon de Chelly

Considered by many to be even more magnificent than the Grand Canyon, this national monument in the heart of Navajo country was inhabited by the Anasazi for centuries. The rock art they left behind is but one facet of the canyon's beauty covered in this, "the most complete physiological description of the canyon extant" (Mankind). - Back cover. Campbell Grant begins with a descriptive overview and continues with a section on the archaeology of the Anasazi and the history of the Navajo. Next comes a discussion of the travelers, explorers, and archaeologists who have passed through the canyon over the years. The final section consists of Grant's special contribution on the canyon rock art. - Foreword.
