Review
"... is a jewel, a record, a touchstone of memory and loss.... One can not move through these pages without weeping." -- Terry Tempest Williams, Author of Refuge
"...astonishing diversity of images and moods around each photographic riverbend makes the book a pleasure to leaf...a dazzling array" -- Salt Lake Tribune
"Glen Canyon now submerged beneath Lake Powell, lives again in this haunting photographic and literary evocation." -- Utah Historical Quarterly
From Scientific American
"While Nature (with a capital N) is the star of Glen Canyon Before Lake Powell, the human presence in many of the photographs is often enriching and occasionally amusing or entertaining....The astonishing diversity of images and moods around each photographic bend of the river makes the book a pleasure to leaf...There is a sense of longing for the ineffable in Eleanor Inskip's collection of photographic images and word portraits of life on the Colorado...a dazzling array"
