Mary Elizabeth Jane Colter

Mary Colter wrote this explanatory book to be used by drivers and guides taking people to see the Watchtower at Desert View (Grand Canyon) that she designed. This book is intended to answer visitor questions and is full of interesting details that visitors hope to learn on a guided tour.

I felt the book can be divided into three parts: description of designing and building the tower, an explanation of the art in the tower, and the annotated endnotes full of Hopi stories/legends.
