Canyon De Chelly: The Story Behind Scenery - Hardcover
Canyon de Chelly is a labyrinth of sheer-walled canyons, spectacular in their beauty and enthralling in their history. Now home to the Navajo, Canyon de Chelly once harbored the mystery-shrouded culture of the Anasazi--ancient people of the canyon's many ruins.
Canyon de Chelly National Monument, located in northeastrn Arizona, first set aside in 1931, preserves ancient canyon wall caves and ruins of Indian villages built between A.D. 350 and 1300.
