Description
"Among his Grand Canyon disciples, Harvey achieved legendary status long before his death due to natural causes in May 2002. Ever since the 1950s, his name had been synonymous with mastery of the wild Grand Canyon back country. His greatest legacy was what he created for others -- 1079 typewritten pages in which he carefully recorded his treks, representing the fruits of nearly three year's worth of days spent indefatigably striding through the Canyon's unknown regions. Eventually Harvey's inveterate chronicling would become the basis for the first Grand Canyon back country guidebooks: Grand Canyon treks (1970), Grand Canyon treks II (1975) and Grand Canyon Treks III (1984)" -- Prologue.
