The Man Who Walked Through Time, First Edition Fine Condition 1967

Original Dust jacket nicely preserved in a brodart with a foldout map.

The Man Who Walked Through Time is Colin Fletcher’s chronicle of the first person to walk a continuous route through Grand Canyon National Park. The book is credited with “introducing an increasingly nature-hungry public to the spiritual and physical rewards of backpacking”.

A detour from U.S. 66 to visit the Grand Canyon on a June morning in 1963 inspired Fletcher to walk the length of the Canyon below the rim. It is also a record of the Grand Canyon as it was before the massive influx of tourism.

Fletcher’s descriptions of the spectacular geography, the wildlife, and the remnants of much older cultures serve to remind us that the Grand Canyon has been around longer than humankind and may well outlast us.
