Western Images, Western Landscapes: Travels Along U.S. 89 [Idioma Inglés] - Hardcover

"The book follows a 1500-mile route stretching from Mexico to Canada--traversing some of the most scenic country in the world, including the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone and Glacier national parks, and the Tetons--and in the process compares observed reality with common myth and image.

Numerous maps, charts, and photographs augment the text."--Booklist"The tone is conversational yet wise. . . . The authors have an eye for the significant. . . .
