Because so much of the book records personal experiences it has special historical value and is in many respects one of the best of the Grand Canyon books.' - Francis Farquhar. [Farquhar 64.] George Wharton James was a prolific booster of California through his many books on the beauties of the state published in the first decades of the 20th century. He was a part of the circle of writers that formed in Carmel following the San Francisco earthquake of 1906, including Jack London, George Sterling, Mary Austin, et al. Probably pre-Clint Eastwood.
