Default Grand Canyon North Rim Land Surveyor Field Books

Thanks Jon, judging by your posts over the years I think we have very similar collecting habits.

Below is a one-of-a-kind. Four Field Books from the Land Surveyors working on the Grand Canyon North Rim (1926-29). This is the beginning of building the Cabins & Lodge on the North Rim. Included in one of the field books is a diary of the daily goings on while in the Canyon. Just the tip of the ice berg picture below, also includes layouts of the cabins, design of the chairs, maps of trails and the tramway. Cannot get much earlier concerning the creation of Grand Canyon North Rim National Park!
