Everything You Might Want to Know about the Grand Canyon!

Arizona is one of the most spectacular and beautiful regions in the U.S. There is, in fact, no other place on the planet with its mix of landscapes, animal and plant life and unique geological structures.
The most spectacular of Arizona's geological features is, of course, the great Grand Canyon, considered by many to be the most awesome landscape sight on Earth. Its only competition is on Mars.
People planning on visiting the Grand Canyon would do well to buy and read The Grand Canyon Answer Book in advance, and then take it along with them as a portable Information Center. It could also be used to promote the state’s tourism industry.
As the title indicates, this book answers virtually every question anyone might have about the Grand Canyon—literally from “A” to “Z”—including many things regular guide books don’t talk about…all in one handy handbook.
In addition to covering the standard questions about the Grand Canyon, the book also describes the history of the canyon, its first Indian residents, the first time it was seen by non-Indians, and why and how it came to be developed into a major tourist attraction.
For history buffs, the first non-Indians to behold the great canyon were Spanish conquistadors [“conquerors”] in 1540…almost 200 years before the first Americans arrived on the scene.
