Product Description

The Grand Canyon of the Colorado River in northwestern Arizona is one of the earth's greatest natural wonders. It became a national park in 1919. So famous is this landmark to modern Americans that it seems surprising that it took more than thirty years for it to become a national park. Before the middle of the nineteenth century, very little was known about the geography of the Grand Canyon. Because of its remote location, the area in and around the canyon was not explored or mapped in detail by Europeans, although it was probably visited in 1540 by the Spanish expedition of Garcia Lopez de Cardenas, who searched with Vasques de Coronado for the seven legendary cities of Cibola. In 1776, two Spanish priests, Francisco Dominguez and Silvestre de Escalante, crossed the Colorado River while exploring the area, but little knowledge of the region was passed down in written form to later generations. The primary source of information about the magnificent canyon was an oral tradition sustained by the reports of fur trappers and traders and so-called "mountain men," most of whom were escorted through the rugged terrain by Native American guides. This CD is the Atlas of the Tertiary History of the Grand Cañon District in its entirety in MrSid format. This format allows you to see the entire map on your computer screen or drill down to see the smallest details. This is a must have collection for any map history buff! To use this software, you must install the free ExpressView MrSid software which is included on the CD. This is a 30 second process and will allow you to view and manipulate/print all the maps in this CD collection in full detail. There is a version for both Windows platforms and Macintosh platforms and full installation instructions are included on the CD

This review is from: The Tertiary History of the Grand Cañon District on CD
I was excited to find this. I have long wanted the reprint of the Dutton volume with all of its wonderful illustrations by William Henry Holmes. But I have yet to find a platform that will open the package. It won't open on any of my Macs, or on the Windows machines that I've tried thus far. I hold out hope that I will someday put the CD on a machine that will open it, but I've yet to derive any value from this product. Not happy.
