Rio Grande Secret Places: Ruby Canyon and the Desert - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Utah occupies nearly all of this volume; coverage includes Grand Junction, Colo. west to Helper and Soldier's Summit. Very detailed descriptions of the topography of this remote land (more maps, fewer words would have been better). Farwell deals with the construction, early power, conversion to diesel, and acquisition of the Rio Grande by Southern Pacific and Union Pacific's acquisition of SP. Heavily illustrated with b&w and (a few) color photos, and diagramatic (bird's-eye) maps. While a pretty typical fan publication the book is worthy of a place in western history, development, and business collections. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
