The rock art they left behind is but one facet of the canyon's beauty covered in this, "the most complete physiological description of the canyon extant" (Mankind). - Back cover. Campbell Grant begins with a descriptive overview and continues with a section on the archaeology of the Anasazi and the history of the Navajo. Next comes a discussion of the travelers, explorers, and archaeologists who have passed through the canyon over the years. The final section consists of Grant's special contribution on the canyon rock art. - Foreword.
