How the Canyon Became Grand

A Short History

Stephen J. Pyne

The New York Times Book Review, Timothy Egan
The writing in this book, which started nearly 25 years ago as a graduate paper, strays on occasion into the desert of academia. But it quickly returns to the canyon's glories and the people who have tried to understand it.

The Boston Globe, Robert Braile
...a lucid book. The approach views historic figures and events not as recorded fact, but as suggestive of deeper cultural currents. It is in that sense more about the historian than history, about the currents a historian discerns from fact than fact itself. And that is why Pyne's book is so troublesome.... Yet Pyne's analysis is dazzling in places.
