Book excerpt: It’s hard to imagine a time in which the Grand Canyon was not regarded as one of the most exquisite and awe-inspiring natural wonders of the United States. But it has only recently become the revered national landmark that we know it to be today. For much of U.S. history, it was over-looked at best, exploited at worst. In The Story of the Grand Canyon’s Establishment 100 Years Later, you’ll discover the adventurous and tumultuous road that eventually led to the Grand Canyon’s success as a national landmark, tourist attraction, and home to all sorts of flora and fauna. From its ties to Native American culture and Teddy Roosevelt’s campaign for preservation to the encroaching railroad tyrants and daring explorations into its mysterious, mystical ravines, the Grand Canyon’s history is filled with as many twists and turns as the gorges’ themselves. After exploring the canyon’s history, study the present preservation and environmental efforts that will hopefully ensure the canyon’s glory for years to come. The future is yet unknown, but the Grand Canyon has stood long before our time and will stand long after we are gone, steadfast and magnificent.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Grand Canyon is one of America’s loveliest landmarks. That’s a pretty noncontroversial statement, right? Wrong — at least if you lived 100 years ago. Teddy Roosevelt, the Wild West-loving wanted the Grand Canyon to be a national park — an untarnished natural beauty that every American could have the chance to admire. Yet a lot of people just didn’t think the Grand Canyon was that charming. The isolation and barrenness appalled some early visitors. What was pretty about the jagged cliffs and bare rock with their garish colors and terrifying abysses? It wasn’t just aesthetics that made the Grand Canyon’s path to becoming a national park rocky. Minors wanted to keep searching for potential fortunes in the nooks and crannies of the canyon. A handful of independent-minded settlers, who had made makeshift houses near the rim to enjoy the peace and solitude, weren’t excited about the prospect of tourists. Railroads had already built their own hotels and didn’t want the National Park Service to benefit from an influx of visitors. But somehow these hurdles were overcome, because the Grand Canyon became a national park on February 26, 1919.
