Summary "The Two Great Canyons: Excerpts From Letters Written on a Western Journey" by Cyrenus Cole is a collection of travel letters chronicling a journey through the American West during the early 20th century. Written in the early 1900s, the book captures the author’s experiences and observations as he explores the majestic landscapes of Yellowstone National Park and the Grand Canyon. The likely topic of the book centers around the breathtaking natural wonders of these canyons and offers insight into the travel culture of the time. In the narrative, Cole recounts his travels with companions, detailing encounters with the varied landscapes and the diverse people in the parks. He eloquently describes the stunning beauty of Yellowstone’s natural features, such as geysers, mountain meadows, and the vibrant colors of its canyon, as well as the overwhelming grandeur of the Grand Canyon, reflecting on its profound impact on visitors. The letters convey a deep appreciation for the majesty of nature, contrasting the serene yet vibrant Yellowstone with the powerful and awe-inspiring home of the Colorado River. Throughout his journey, Cole not only captures the scenic beauty but also provides commentary on the challenges of travel during the era and the contrasts of civilization against the untamed wilderness.
