Detailed Product Description
CA, 1938, 1st edition. 77 pp, photos, fold-out maps. The standard geological history of the Tetons. Hardcover, DJ, Fine.

A classic on the geology of the Tetons written simply, clearly, and without ambiguity by one of Grand Teton's first ranger-naturalists. Dr. Fryxell is also the author of a book on the history of mountaineering in the Tetons.

The Grand Tetons parade across the horizon like spikes as they rise out of the high desert floor. Formed by eruptions and worn by ice, water and years, they have assumed unearthly shapes. A closer investigation of these spires reveals that they are the remnants of old volcano eruptions and have many evidences of the dikes that eventually formed as the lava cooled and the magna subsided. The author has organized the chapters thus:
  • The Rugged Teton Country
  • The Mountains and Valley
  • The Building of a Range
  • Records Written in Stone
  • The Glacial Experience
  • Landscapes in the Making
  • Teton Clouds and Shadows, and
  • Index

Accompanied by drawings, and an excellent fold-out map on vellum, as well as black and white photographs; as you read this book, you can see the mountain range take shape before your eyes and appreciate the beauty and stark grandeur of these impressive mountains.
