Over the Edge: Death in Grand Canyon by JediKermit Pros:
Not written in a sensationalistic style, clear look at human error and hubris... Cons: A bit long, repetitive. Last month I was visiting Grand Canyon National Park for the first time since 1981. I was there with a bunch of adults, and without any children, which calmed some of my anxieties somewhat--until we came to Lipan Point. Lipan Point is one of the many ...

An Army hitch in Iraq didn't straighten him out; it just ...

The story of an ineffectual attempt to aid Native Americans just after WWII by Stephen_Murray Pros: considerable research including eliciting the views of contemporary Meskwaki about "their anthropologists"
