Of all the books I have seen on Canyon de Chelly, this is hands-down the best. Far from being a compact travel guide, it is a full-sized paperback textbook. (It was so informative, I stuffed it into my suitcase for my visit to Canyon de Chelly). The book gives a detailed overview of all aspects of the canyon, from geologic formation to prehistoric canyon dwellers and then proceeds into the present. Major historic events are covered too. Lots of intricate pen-and-ink illustrations as well as photographs. It's an academic piece of literature, but I do not want to scare off potential readers, because it is also a riveting and fun read!

I bought this book because i was traveling to Canyon de Chelly and i wanted something that would help me understand and enjoy my trip there.The book was really good as to the places you are going to visit and the history behind it.It also helped me found and understand a lot of the petroglyphs that are scattered around the canyon.This book also helped me understand what was the relation of the native americans and the canyon.Great book to have handy if you are going to visit the Canyon.

This was a great book! it was very well written, so much in-depth information with many illustration; an older book so not pictures are black and white. Prior my trip I ordered three books on canyon de chilly and this one I could not put down.
