Constructed between 1956 and 1966 by the United States Bureau of Reclamation, Glen Canyon Dam on the Colorado River was a project of immense proportions.

Though the dam has proven a controversial structure throughout its history, the massive undertaking of its construction was an undeniable...

Visiting the Grand Canyon: Views of Early Tourism
ISBN: 9780738528809 / Angielski / Miękka / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Colorado River began carving a course to create the Grand Canyon some four to six million years ago, but organized tourism to the natural wonder is fairly young, geologically speaking. Getting to the view along and below the rim has not always been as convenient as packing up the family car and hitting the road. The El Tovar Hotel, celebrating its centennial in 2005, had just opened to lodgers when the Canyon was declared a National Monument in 1908. Between the 1890s and the 1920s, horses, mules, river rafts, stagecoaches, and later railroads and automobiles permitted increasing access...

The ore reserves were depleted, and when the last pickaxe struck plain old dirt, a mass exodus of miners collapsed the real...
