8vo; 38 pages; heavy gray paper covers, stapled. Front cover with title printed in black, and a small central gilt device and single gilt border. Other than two very short closed tears to outer lower title page, a fine copy. First edition. Foreword by George Wharton James. Frontispiece of Bass and an old Indian friend. Illustrated with a photo of the Powell monument plaque, a portrait of Hawkins, and facsimiles of letters and mss by Hawkins and James White on early canyon trips. Prints first hand material on the earliest visits and travels in the canyon, and of the memories (often differing) of Powell, Hance, Bass, Hawkins, and James White. Laid in is a wonderful contemporary Kodak photo (4 by 2 1/2 inches) of a man jumping across a wide crevasse taken from below. 'A. K. Ballad in ink in lower border'. Shades of the Kolb brothers photos. A very fragile scarce and important early canyon title.
