Of the canyons that break the eastern edge of the Staked Plains, Palo Duro is by far the most spectacular. As one approaches the edge, "imagination goes to work and contemplates what ancient people must have felt when they realized that they had found a bonanza, an immense concentration of water, wood, game, and protection -- all they needed to sustain life." -- Frederick W. RathjenOriginally published in 1979, The Story of Palo Duro Canyon, with its seven essays devoted to geology, archeology, paleontology, vegetation, park development, and the amphitheater, and its road log from Canyon, Texas, through the Palo Duro State Park, has become a classic. This Double Mountain Books edition, with a new introduction by Frederick W. Rathjen, makes it available once again.
