Steel on Stone: Living and Working in the Grand Canyon
April 25, 2019 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm
FreeThe Grand Canyon National Park has been called many things, but home isn’t often one of them. Yet after years of traveling the globe, Nathaniel Brodie found his home there. Steel on Stone (Trinity University Press) is Brodie’s epic account of living in the canyon during the eight years he worked on a National Park Service trail crew, navigating a vast and unforgiving land. Steel on Stone is a love letter to the Grand Canyon and those who have given years of their lives to work its trails so that we may understand and enjoy it today as the transformative landscape we seek.
