Standing Up Country, the late historian Dr. C. Gregory Cramptons classic biography of the elaborately carved sandstone country of southeastern Utah and northeastern Arizona, returns to print in this lavishly illustrated, revised edition. This land of unparalleled grandeur is one of the earths great places, and its recorded history is as old as the United States itself. The original edition inspired a whole new generation of landscape photographers to discover the canyon country for themselves, and this colorful new edition includes some of their most spectacular work. Standing Up Country also features rare historical maps and photographs, many of which have never appeared in print before.

An Old Classic on the Colorado Plateau,
By oddy mrrfffy "oddy mrrfffy" (black hills, usa) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Standing Up Country (Hardcover)
Crampton has long been revered by Colorado Plateau fans for this hardbound classic, with its many black and white photos of key spots all over the area, and its old technicolored full-page shots of special scenes. Crampton knows his stuff, both in
history and in having put his boots on the ground he writes about. There's a glossy color reprint of Standing Up Country that's been issued, but it still can't compete with this early edition, dated as some of the info might be.
