Rainbow to Yesterday: The John and Louisa Wetherill Story [Hardcover] Comfort, Mary Apolline

This is the fascinating story of the development of the wilderness area of northern Arizona. It pays much deserved tribute to John and Louisa Wetherill for their vital role in that development in the early 20th century.The first and possibly the finest ancient ruin to be discovered was that of Mesa Verde in the southwest corner of Colorado. This triggered John's interest in searching for more ruins of the Ancient Ones. He was instrumental in discovering Betatakin, Inscription House and Kiet Siel ruins in northern Arizona, and natural wonder Rainbow Bridge across the line in Utah.
