Our national parks began in a time of exploration and wonder . . .
FORT WILVERTON, ARIZONA TERRITORY, 1871
Meg was an excellent photographer, having worked with her father since she was little. Shortly after he died, she was hired by the Army to take pictures for an expedition to map part of the Grand Canyon. Can you imagine? That was still new territory. They wanted to find a way for wagon trains to navigate the area safely. They just weren't too pleased when they learned Meg was a woman. She knew the Captain who was in charge of the project, which didn't make it easier since she had turned down his marriage proposal when they were at West Point. But she had her reasons. Reasons that she went over and over again as they traveled together during this expedition. Beauty, mystery, hidden danger weave through this story, even murder. It was interesting to learn more about Cartography as the story went along too. Beautifully, heartfully told, you'll become Meg's champion too.
