Author Description

Excerpt from An Appreciation of Zion National Monument <p>The auto drive is made in less than seven hours with a stop for luncheon at Cedar City, a most attractive little community nestled under the shadows of the southern spur of the Wasatch Mountains, which really marks the northern boundary of the area of which Zion is the leading feature. <p>All along the way the traveler faces the range which gradually rises in his path, its color slowly changing from the deep purple of distant effects to the solid greys of the country rock splashed with vivid tintings of red and yellow sandstone, the whole softened by the varied green of scattered cedars and widespread areas of Chaparral and mesquite. <p>About the Publisher <p>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
