A Distance Too Grand: A Review

This is the 1st book in the new American Wonders Collection. This one is about the Grand Canyon and is published this year 1919 in celebration of the fact that Grand Canyon became a National Park in 1819.

The author has written a fascinating novel- so well written that as my wife and I read it, we could visualize the Grand Canyon from the descriptive words the author uses to describe views of the Grand Canyon that were taken by Meg Pero, the photographer for one of the expeditions there.

In this story Meg Pero had grown up helping her photographer father to take pictures since she was big enough to carry his equipment.

After her father dies, she decides to take over his profession and starts with fulfilling the contract he signed to serve on an army survey of the North Rim of the Grand Canyon in 1871. What she doesn’t realize is that the leader of the expedition is the very man she once refused to marry.

Check with your local bookstore or order online from Amazon.com or other online venues.

The ISBN for the book is  9780-0-8007-3639-2
