<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> The Colorado Plateau is home to nearly thirty national parks, monuments and recreational areas. The unique geology, stunning rock formations, powerful rivers and numerous scenic canyons that compose such a striking region also made navigation difficult. Y <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> "Silbernagel's book, his third, is divided into eight sections, all of which carry essays roughly the length of a newspaper column. There are photos, maps and artist renderings culled from various museums and other sources, which help to detail inhabitants' "extensive travel" and their "restless nature." <p/><br>It's an enjoyable, fascinating book, complete with tales about people who rode with Robert LeRoy Parker, later to be known as Butch Cassidy; Antoine Robidoux, a French-Canadian trader and explorer who left, in French, on a rock near the present-day Utah-Colorado border an etching of his passing through the area in November 1837 (he may have meant 1831, the book says); and the invention of commercial river trips on the Green and Colorado by Norman Nevills." <i>Aspen Daily News</i>
