The Geologic Story of Palo Duro Canyon
William Henry Matthews
The Texas plains split open and drop into color: red rock, ancient man, the long story of Palo Duro Canyon. William Matthews walks you through the Indians of the plains, the coming of white settlers, and the geologic layers that built these walls. Rocks and minerals, park history, regional setting: the whole canyon explained. Stand at the rim and know exactly what you are seeing.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
